- RAM and a NONAME ET 4000 Card with 1MB RAM. I have installed the latest SLS
- Distribution of Linux (0.99p2). I think i have configured the Xconfig file
- right, because the monitor seems to synchronisize well. But after i start
- startx i get the following Error Message:
-
- no SIOCGIFCONF

- VGA256: clocks: 25 29 32 36
- Cannot open mouse: No such file or directory

- Fatal server error:

-
- What does it mean ?
-
- I would be very pleased, if there is anybody who can help me. Many thanks in
- forward.
