Hi all, I have a Fujitsu Lifebook 656Tx and I've been trying to install LM8.1 in it. I do all the standard procedures (I've installed Linux on this laptop at least five or six times) and I choose the right video card (Neomagic MagicGraph 128ZV) and TFT (800x600). This always worked in LM7.2 and LM8.0 but now it just won't work in the new release, no matter what I try. I don't get the X-server trying to start, nothing, all it gives me is the text console. I tried different resolutions, different depths and also checked the /var/log/Xfree*** file but there isn't any log file corresponding to X. The CDs I downloaded should be OK (I installed a desktop with the same CDs). The weirdest thing is: if I log in console and do a startx, it works perfectly!!! Did I find an installtion bug? I looked all over mailing lists but it seems no one is having the same problem. I tried installing LM7.2 (I don't have 8.0 anymore) and the graphical login worked again, so it's not the laptop cdrom, or screen. I also checked initscript and it's runlevel 5. Does anyone know what I could do to check what's wrong? Where are the scripts for starting the login screen in Mandrake? Any help is welcome. Thanks in advance, Marcio Cordero
