Re: [newbie] Trouble installing X with LM 7.2

[Robert Hershberger]

I have a Compaq 1200XL Laptop (using all the internal drivers and adapters)
and after installing Mandrake 7.2 I can't get the X Window System to display
properly.  I run Xconfigurate and it appears to properly configure my
monitor (using a generic 70hz, superVGA) but when I run X the screen refresh
does funky things.
It writes to the display in funky ways causing the screen to have ghost
images.  The whole screen will be covered with multiply parts of the desktop
and any open windows in a confusing array of hash, broken windows and icons.
Does anyone know what I should set the display settings too to get X to work
properly.  Thanx for your time...

[newbie] Trouble installing X with LM 7.2

[Michael Sternberg]

I just received my new copies of LM 7.2 from CheapBytes and I cannot make X
work.. :( I tried all three types of installation - including Custom and
Expert. It recognizes my video card correctly but when I try to test my
choosen configuration computer freezes. After that when I try to run startx
from command line - I get a message saying "Fatal error - no screens found".
After that I tried to run script called Xconfigurator - without much
results...

Please help !! I do want to install Mandrake 7.2 - heard a lot about it

My configuration is as follows:

Dell Latitude 450 GT laptop
ATI technologies Inc. RAGE P/M Mobility AGP 2X with 8 Mb RAM
256 Mb RAM
