XF86 problem for Ashley
Hi Ashley,
I just went through this this morning with a Riva TNT card.
The fix for me was at the root command prompt to run nano (text editor) then ctl R to read file /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 and remove the line that says "FB ????" "true". I can't remember off hand but it has to do with a framebuffer. I remmed it with a # one time and that didn't work so I deleted it the next time and it worked. Not sure why. Anyhow, save the file and it should work. It did for me this morning.
Now I need to figure out how to use my D-link router.
Jeff
