A few weeks ago, I was running DOSEmu on RH5.0. It crashed and I lost
graphics. I tried to reinstall Linux, but it wouldn't (CD is scratched up
too bad). So, I just put some games (DOOM, Blood, Quake, ROTT, etc..) on
my formated Linux partition (I backed up the important stuff). So, now I
am trying out Slackware. I got PPP and alot of other stuff working
perfectly, but X wont work. I used XF86Setup and set everything up
correctly, but the changes don't seem to be made in /etc/XF86Config isn't
like how I set it up. I get the following error when trying to get into
X:

Fatal server error:

According to Windows (95) the Chip is a Cirrus Logic GD-54xx. 1024K of
vidio RAM.
Does anyone know how to fix this?
Also, I have a probelm with lilo. I belive the script file is correct
(it's set up like it was under RH), and when I run 'lilo' it sets
everything up with no errors, but when the system restarts, I can't type
anything in at the LILO prompt. But after 30 seconds, Linux does boot.
I just can't get into Windows. So, I used my Startup disk and did a
'fdisk /mbr' so I could get into windows. I have a bootdisk to get into
Linux. Does anyone know how I can fix this?
Later
