I'd really appreciate some help: can't get X (graphics) to work on the above machine. Struggled through and finally got a largish set of packages installed but can't get my graphics to work. I guess it's because it doesn't recognize my chipset. Here are data the manual (O'Reilly) asks for on pp. 3-4: Hard drive: 6007MB; Toshiba MK6014MAP; IDE; Set for LBA Mode? (Large disk Access Mode= DOS... guess answer is NO.) ATAPI CD-ROM; IDE Nec CD-Rom DRive: 282 CDROM; Firmware Rev. 5.12 Mouse: Snynaptics PS/2 TouchPad with IBM Model 001 M-L plugged into keyboard/ mouse port; 2 buttons Video Adapter (= Graphics Controller?): Trident CyberBlade i7 with 4MB video RAM I don't mind further reading of docs. if you can point to help (I've been reading for about four wees now); Problem seems associated with configuring XFree... but I don't know how/whether the chipset is recognized/workable. Thanks a million for any help.
