- Here are the directions I followed.
- At the moment I am only have a 640X480 monitor, so i don't
- know if higher resolution will work.
-
- At the end you will find my xconfig
-
- Good luck
- and keep on hacking

- To get X/SLS/Linux working, do the following:
-
- 1. Install the complete SLS package (except i? and t?).
- You can safely ignore the error messages during the installation.
- 2. Include /usr/X386/bin in your PATH.
- 3. Put the following line in your /etc/profile:
- DISPLAY=":0"
- (Normally, you should use
- DISPLAY=":0"; export DISPLAY
- but the default /etc/profile includes a line
- export PATH DISPLAY etc...
- anyway.)
- 4. Put my Xconfig into the home directory.
- 5. In each of the (4 or 5?) font directories mentioned in the font path
- line in my Xconfig, issue the command "mkfontdir", not "mkfont".
- 6. Return to your home directory and issue the command "startx".
- 7. This should work if you use Trident8900C and Microsoft compatible
- mouse on COM1. If you have other type of mouse on different
- COM port, say Ligitech on COM4, then
- replace the following line in my Xconfig
- Microsoft "/dev/ttys0"
- by
- Logitech "/dev/ttys3".
- 8. You don't have to worry about the clock setting thing *IF* you
- a Trident 8900C. Note a Trident 9000 or 8900B will not work
