Hello All,
I am new to the list, and am having difficulties.
Last night I tried to install Linux-mandrake and it went GREAT, until I got
to X setup. I just can't seem to get my settings right. I am installing on
a Compaq Deskpro P166 with a soundblaster(this worked in the installation)
and a Cirrus logic video board(I don't know what chipset or RAM).
The first time I loaded it, I got into KDE(X?) but the screen was so messed
up I couldn't use it, and I couldn't find a way to reset the video
settings. I was reserved and I ended up re-installing linux a few times
before I got a successful install.
Now that everything is complete, and I can use unix(with my limited
knowledge of unix it is difficult for me), from a console to be ROOT, and
run Xconfigurator. After setting up Xconfig with my monitor's settings, and
having it probe my adapter(when it probes, the specs sound right), but then
the test screen comes up and asks "Can tyou read this message?" and I can
read the message, but the boxes below are all skewed...
I got it looking decent and selected yes when it asked my if I could see
the message. Now it freezes when going into X...PLEASE HELP!!
