Before I proceed, I would like to greet averyone on this list. I am new to the list, so if I make any mistakes : a. Bare with me b. Tell me where I went wrong
Here goes my problem. I've been having issues with mandrake 8.2 (tried to upgrade from 8.1), so I decided to install my freshly downloaded copy of linux Mandrake 9.0. Everything went fine up to the X-window part. Installation went smoothly and linux asked my resolution for X. I have an Eizo 19" monitor and a Kyro Hercules 4000 with 32Mb of RAM, so the system thought it would be a good idea to suggest 1240X1024 16-bit colour. When installation finished I got the above resolution which is not the best for my eyes, so I tried to tweak the res with the help of XFdrake but to no avail. I , now, lost all X-windows and the only thing I did was to change the boot resolution on /etc/lilo.conf from 1240x1024 to 800x600 (note: that's the "vga=" part on lilo.conf). I suspect that something went wrong there and the system will no longer launch X-windows. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Any given docs for XF86-4.x Looks like it's very different from previous versions of XF86 (say 3.3.6).
