I install X on old PC with wiht Diamond Stealth 64 card. I had to install xserver-s3_3.3.6 to get X to work properly. The chip on video card is not supported with X 4.1. You may need to add or tweak Mode lines in XF86Config to correct the display. Can you get the monitor to display properly using xvidtune? You could also check /var/log/XFree86.0.log, .xsession-errors, .gnome-errors, etc. to see if you have any error messages. > > I remember having this problem years ago with a RedHat box but I > can't remember what I did to fix it. > > I'd appreciate it if someone can give me some help. > Many-Many thanks in advance > > John Kennedy > > -- Jerome
