Setting up XF86Config
I am not a newbie to computers, but I am to Linux, and so far not so
good.
Hardware:
ASUS SP97-V MB, which has the video built in (SiS 5598 chipset)
Monitor is a Sceptre Dragon Eye D54
Though the accompanying information indicates that XFree86 will handle
the SiS 5598 chipset, for reasons that I do not fathom, it defaults to
a 320X200 screen (first problem), and then bombs because it cannot find
the "fixed" font in /fonts/misc/.
Left to its own devices, XF86Config specifies "Generic VGA" (hence, I
gather, the 320x200 screen size)
It indicates that the SiS chipset is "unknown"
Where am I going wrong?
What other information is needed?
