Hi Anne, first thing to do - is to not boot into X... So - The Failsafe Option is a first part. Just - at the Lilo prompt - give: init 3 in - it should start the system without X.
The Problem - is that you most probably need to start with an empty XF86Config-4 file - as the XFDrake programm takes the old one as template (It assumes - what you have in there works already ...) So - move that file to your Home-Directory, make sure there is no mode XF86Config-4 in /etc/X11, and start XFDrake again. It should do the trick. Cheers PS: Now lets get back to this &*^%$% of Compile to have the CLE266 Via Driver compiled into XFree to have the Hush-PC working with a decent X-Display driver ...
