I appear to be having a couple of problems, i'll start with the most
crucial.
X says it hates me!
I tried to use xf86config and it segfaults. So does XF86Setup
( Nevertheless xfdrake does work, although it doesnt. I need to set X up to
spit out 1280x1024 @ 72hz, I have a matrox G100 card which i'm told will
work fine, and I also have although i'm not using it a Voodoo accellerator
(somewhere although i'm not desperate to go look it out.)
When I set X up to use my monitor (Ie creating a monitor entry in monitorDB
since i can't enter a manual one it) and selecting 1280x1024 screen mode.
when i Startx it complains that theres no valid modes. I tried every
combination of res XFDrake has and still no joy! Its using the SVGA server,
there doesnt appear to be one for the matrox g100.
Any ideas?
Next problem is pppd
I'm running it on a slackware box.
It dials, it connects but fails to authenticate. The interface never appears
under ifconfig, but it stays connected. From time to time when i Ctrl-c or
kill the connection i get an error saying the line is not 8 bit clean, the
modem is a usr sportster v90 which i can use to connect under M$ winblows!
Hope you can help.
Cheers
David
