Yep thats my A4000, I even got KDE working (snore, you could go and
make
a cup of coffee waiting for it to load) but it worked, key map was
all wrong.
I could only get KDE to work on a 600x400-8 screen ??? I have
"played"
around with XFree86 configs and really done something wrong :( So X
at the moment is not working. Ross, can you spare 5mins and have
a look at it on the weekend ? please :)
