- Hi,
-
- After loading SLS 0.98p5 and happily messing around, I tried to get X
- running. The machine has a Trident 8900 C SMART VGA card. But after
- hours of trying Xconfig's both with X386mono and the X386 for color
- the best I have mangaed is a solid black and white geomteric pattern.
- With the most common thing being wriggling lines. Can anyoune out
- there help?
-
- Thanks
- David
