I had VideoRam 4 and got the same results as you. When changed to 4096 I finally got a screen. Hope that that is all you have to do. I had to play with a bunch of Options to get a nice looking X. Working fine now on a Woody box but can't get the mouse working on the Potato system, yet. :-) HTH, YMMV, HAND :-) -- The reason computer chips are so small is computers don't eat much. _______________________________________________________
