Hi! > LOL!
Thanks! ( I hope you wer laughing *with* me) I have done pretty much as sugested here (see below). I installed XFree86-4.2.0 from binaries using the sh Xinstal.sh process. I read the instructions in the INSTALL file. I said yes to everything. I have a copy of the two directories mentioned so i could find old stuff if need be. I went through the process twice. The first time I think I still had X and KDE open - foolish me. The next time i used init 3 in the ctrl -alt -F1 console. and did it all again. I have rebooted and am now in the graphical interface - but i think I have Twm running not KDE as i used to. Interesting! Other than that everything seems ok. I want to get KDE back - any ideas? I want to now see if i can upgrade to the right driver for my vido card -- the ATI Radeon 7500 - where do i go for that? Any ideas appreciated!
