New X11 installation

[smartin@reuna.cl (Simon Martin)]

Hi all,

Only me. I have now got a limping X11 installation. A few questions/observations:

1) I installed xserver_svga from Debian-1.2. When I run xbase-configure it
   complains at the end of the installation that there is no XF86_S3 (I have
   a Dell Dimension P130 with an S3 Trio 64 display driver). I generated
   a link in /usr/X11R6/bin pointing to XF86_SVGA and it seems to work ok,
   but...

2) If I specify the card as an S3 Trio 64 then when it launches the X screen
   the dimensions are all wrong. In fact I can only see the top left quadrant
   this means that I can't get to the xvidtune options.

3) Once I configure and X starts I don't get a login prompt. It just reflects
   the messages that diald generates for some unknown reason.

What am I doing wrong?

Simon Martin
