Hi again, worked out my own problem in the end but since I did see another person asking a similar question in the archives thought I'd explain what I found out.
When I swapped the videocard for another one all came good. I presume that either the orrigional video card is not supported by linux or I was using the svga server and the videocard wasn't up to the task (maybe I should have gone with a lower server - but a better graphics card was probably in order!). cheers, noel On Monday, November 19, 2001 5:15 PM, Noel Clarkson [SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] wrote: > hi all, > > first go at this stuff, worked out most of it, but I can't get the login > screen in x windows runlevel.
