Steve, all,
Thanks for the replies. Ok, I've edited and all of that, but I can't seem to
find the right combos(noaccel still doesn't work, just locks up)...
Now I've discovered that I can get my plain GUI to work excellently, but the
KDE desktop just locks up. Not sure why it locks up when it should just look
crappy.
When the "can you see this message" message pops up after setting up,
everything looks good until the countdown numbers change, then it fails to
redraw, and all of the numbers and letters write over each other. Makes me
think this is a Monitor issue...
My monitor is a Compaq V70 17" monitor Hor. sync 30-69 and Vert. 37.5
@1280x1024. It is not in the monitor list, and when I set custom params, I
choose the closest to it, and I get garbage, go as low as possible...same
effect.
Any ideas??
