Re: Flashing display [was: Why Linux on a Laptop? Reality Check.]
Sure appreciate the help!
Remembering that I am in "Single" mode, does that kill off some
stuff like "Safe Mode" in M$ Windows?

"bash: X: command not found"

The default, left over from Progeny, is GRUB loading Gnome.

128bit NeoMagic MagicGraph graphics accelerator with video ram
Zoomed Video support for both PC Card slots

Just ran "find -name XF86Config" and it returned nothing but the
command prompt.
- Any relevant log messages from /var/log/*
There are 13 .log files in that directory, plus a bunch of other stuff.
Could you help me to narrow the likely source of relevant data?
Thanks! doc
