Re: [newbie] Screen Dies When X Boots Up

[Jacob Straszynski]

I too am experiencing this problem. X loads, screen  totally freezes. Only
option seems pressing the power button, or disabling X on startup. This may
seem a little reduntant, but I'm contributing just to point out it isn't
some obscure, isolated problem.

Comp specs:
Pentium Classic 200
One 3.2 gig hd
One 8.4 gig hd (motherboard can only utilize 8 gigs :)
96 megs of ram
Realtek 8029 Ethernet
Some proprietary sound card
ATI Rage 2.
Voodoo 2.
Mandrake 7.2
