Dear Madams & Sirs Thanks Benjamin Schmidt for your advice.
I have been spent about ten hours looking through documentation and trying things but to no avail. hwinfo told me that I had a Cirrus Lorgic GD5446 card but xdebconfigurator did not use it. Instead it used a SiS card and X failed to load. Stephen Grant Brown -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
