No memory listed for the Video. That was 'one' of my problems.
I had VideoRam 4 and got the same results as you. When
changed to 4096 I finally got a screen.
Hope that that is all you have to do. I had to play with a bunch of
Options to get a nice looking X. Working fine now on a Woody box but
can't get the mouse working on the Potato system, yet.
:-) HTH, YMMV, HAND :-)
