Re: Mundane question about memory needed
i was about to look in the archives as i just got somthing similar to this
on a new debian 2.2r3 cd install... but i found if you check 'no video
driver' and 'force video'in bootx and set mac os to 8bit (256) color,X will
run... but the colors are so awful they are offensive... but it does run....
try this to see if it works for you...
sloopy.
p.s. anyone know how i can make the color more reasonable?
p.p.s. i am not finished
