You're right Pontus,,guess it was my frustration. Apologies to all. I do know
the riff here. Ok..once again from the top.
It's potato.. video card is a tnt2 m64 (agp,32 mg) .made by pny tech. I got
it from comp usa ( i hate to be forced into a position to go
there)...anyways. I'm using an amd 750. Now..presently I'm putting this on a
drive with 98se (20 gig quantum drive) but if I can even get to a decent
install at all I'd like to replace mandrake (which is on its own drive,same
box).. w/potato (or woody)..
Ok..so I've tried using a pci card permedia 2 (8 mg). I've tried a number of
diff bios settings..video shadowing off/on. chip caches off/on. Slow down
then speed up ram timing (ddr here). PNP off/on..irq's auto/manual. There is
no virus thingy with this bios. Now, I'm using the advanced method here as I
like to pick my own packaging. I'm fairly hip to the dependency needs (the
installer makes it real easy, it seems..lol.
I've tried installing w/gnome included,and w/out... tried it with that unix
desktop package and w/out. Was thinking there would be a conflict there,but
never any messages to that effect. I made sure the complete x window system
was included, and to not over ride any conflicts.
Now, I have a rage 128 (32 mg,agp ) card I can try if the list feels this may
be a solution ? I've also heard good things about the matrox products, and
their support of linux?
Ok..so I seem to be cool until I try to startx. I can cruise via midnight
commander,visit linuxconf + a few other tasks I'm sure,just nothing that uses
an x interface.
Alright, I'm off to work some more on it and I'll check in later,hopefully
with some good results.
I'm very sorry for the novel here..I've been trying to work this out on my
own for almost a month now..lol !! Thank you all..very very much.
