XFree86 Problems [continues Woody Installation Problems II]



Hi List,

Sorry to bother you all again. As some of you told me, I setup a minimal
system, and installed xfree86 and kde with apt-get. Now that the installed
completed correctly, I'm experiencing my next problem: startx sets my screen
into graphic mode and I see two stripes in gray (looks somehow like the
screen does not support a that high color depth, but in windows I have 32bit
color depth, and in xfree, I set it to 16).

The according section in XF86Conf-4 is probably Device and the "Driver"
option is set to "sis" (it's a SIS630 chip onboard). I have some experience
with linux in a server environment, but I have absolutly zero experience
with linux as desktop, so I can't really help myself. I read up on my laptop
on linux-laptop.net (well, the google cache, it's down again), but did not
find anything usefull.

Thanks in advance once more!
Daniel
