You may need to build a custom Xf86config file for this card and specify it with the XF86CONFIG_FILE option; that way you can tweak the xf86config file to get it working. I would boot the terminal into text mode and manually run X, and change the x86config file from another terminal, so you don't have to reboot each time you change a setting. You could try adding the "noaccel" option to this file to see if you can get the card to work. This is really old hardware, so you may have problems with drivers anyway, particularly with XFree86 4.x. You can try to boot the system with Knoppix to see what kind of xf86config file it creates.
My suggestion would be to not put too much effort into this machine and just buy a used box with newer, more compatible hardware. Places like http://www.retrobox.com have PII class systems for around $60 USD with shipping, and I assume you have similar shops near your location. Depending on your budget, that may be a worthy route, and you can always use the P-120 for firewall, print server, or CD tower duty, which don't require graphics. Failing both of these options, I've gotten good Matrox Millenium PCI cards on eBay for < $12 with shipping. -Todd On Wed, 2004-02-11 at 12:17, Ovidiu MOISANU wrote: > Hello, > > I am running a ltsp setup (6 clients so far), and everything was fine > until I tried adding a client using an old compaq deskpro 4000.
