When you get to the yaboot prompt, press TAB. Then whichever kernel you'd like to run, say for instance "linux", type: linux video=ofonly You won't have a functioning X just yet, but you should at least be able to boot the machine. If this works, add an "append" stanza in /etc yaboot.conf in the appropriate listing append=" video=ofonly" (right before read-only is a good place - note the leading space) run ybin and you should not need to type this afterward. The 2.4.4-6.1mdk kernel will probably give you X functionality, but you may get a lockup on exiting X - I'm working on that (see previous message) Stew Benedict -- MandrakeSoft OH/TN, USA http://perso.mandrakesoft.com/~sbenedict/ On Tue, 26 Jun 2001, Micheal Kelly wrote: > Hi all, > > Apologies if this has been asked 10,001 times before.
