- Hi
-
- I just installed SLS .98p5 with no problem
- on my 486/33 machine with ATI Graphics Ultra pro card
- (Gateway 2000). First, thanks to those who prepared this
- great system for public domain.
-
- I have no idea how to setup my ATI Graphics Ultra pro card
- for X386color. Does anyone did this setup for ATI? I appreciate
- if you mail me your Xconfig.
-
- And, I think we are missing something in that README file that
- talks about setting up X386mono.

- If you run 'startx' after this, X doesn't work...
- Don't we have to link (or maybe copy) X386 to X after this?..
- I did
- ln -s X386 X
- and it works..
-
- Anyway, I really appreciate if someone mails me a Xconfig file
- for ATI Graphics Ultra pro card to setup X386color..
- Thanks in advance..
