My Linux pc now boots and tries to
"startx" immediately. I believe it is attempting to 'probe' my
video card and when it does this it corrupts the video screen. It also
aborts starting x leaving the screen corrupted. I can see from key presses
that it's dropped to the "console", but I still cannot make out the
characters on the screen.
1) How can I keep the system from (starting x)?
(boot disk maybe?)
2) Why is this probing of the ramdac causing my
screen corruption (I'm using an ati vgawonder video card)?
I've spent all the time I can on it right now, but I'm hoping
some can suggest some things that I can do to get my system going
again!
By the way, I've only gotten this far due to
this mailing list! I'm learning a lot from the just reading the mail and special
thanks to those who have responded to my e-mails (pleas of help). I don't get
respond immediately unfortunately so thanks for your help!
