X Weirdness
hi
I've installed X 3.3.6-6 on my Toshiba Sat Pro 4270 (laptop). The machine
has an S3 Savage card, and I've installed the latest drivers from the s3
site. The server is identifying my machine's video card correctly, and is
not producing any errors on start up ... BUT ... all I get is a blank screen
when I 'startx' ... the output from my X session is as follows:
XFree86 Version 3.3.6 / X Window System
(protocol Version 11, revision 0, vendor release 6300)
Release Date: January 8 1999
If the server is older than 6-12 months, or if your card is newer
than the above date, look for a newer version before reporting
problems. (see http://www.XFree86.Org/FAQ)
Operating System: Linux 2.2.12-20 i686 [ELF]
