How do you boot, to a graphical login or text mode (ie. runlevel 3)? If it's text mode, open a console, su root, and type "cd" to get to your home dir. Now create a file called .xinitrc and add a line executing the WM or desktop you want, ie. exec fluxbox, etc. This is NOT recommended. You should really always log in as a user, then perform only specific tasks as root when required. -- Joehill Registered Linux user #282046 Homepage: http://nodex.sytes.net ** "Filtering out noise is one way to get a clearer signal." ** 20:22:46 up 27 min, 1 user, load average: 0.00, 0.02, 0.00 ___ XFree86 mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xfree86

I am quite sure 4.3.0 supports the i810, but with RH 7.1, who knows? What version of XFree comes with RH 7.1, anyway? Upgrade! (cough) to Mandrake (cough)... I run Mandrake 9.1, and have an i810 mobo myself (weeps), and have never had a prob (more due to XFree version than distro of course!), tho I don't use the onboard video controller since my wife bought me that lovely GF 4 Ti... :)) -- Joehill Registered Linux user #282046 Homepage: http://nodex.sytes.net Guest (shouting): "I asked: how many computers you have running in here?!"

[XFree86] S3 Trio64V2/GX 2nd Post, 1st got hijacked...
Hello, I do not believe this is a bug necessarily, I am just trying to clarify something with regard to getting XFree 4.3.0 running on an S3 Trio64V2/GX. On the list of supported hardware for 4.3.0, it states: "The s3virge driver in XFree86 4.3.0 supports the S3 ViRGE, ViRGE DX, GX, GX2, MX, MX+, and VX chipsets." Does this include the chipset I have? Or does it *only* apply to a "Virge" chipset? I am concerned that the"V2" part means it is some more obscure chipset that is not supported, since I seem to only be able to get XFree 3.3.6 to run, although in the XFdrake config util, the V2/GX *is* listed. I am running Mandrake 9.1 on an old Compaq Deskpro with the S3 onboard. I have tried XFdrake, testing at everywhere from 800x600x8bpp up to 1024x768x24bpp (wishful thinking?), and I have tried the listed drivers for: Trio64 (generic) Trio64V2/GX (generic) Virge/GX (generic) Now, sadly, I cannot seem to get it to test OK even when I choose XF 3.3.6 :( Any help appreciated, if it's RTFM, please give me a hint where to look. I have tried Google but have found nothing specific to my situation. Thank you for a great piece of work, this is the first problem I have ever had on any system with XFree, so I am more suspicious of Compaq and S3 than XFree in this matter, that is fer sure. Cheers! p.s. maybe this is incentive to start learning to use Linux in text mode only, huh? -- Joehill Registered Linux user #282046 Homepage: http://nodex.sytes.net "Honour died when the gun was invented." 15:53:22 up 18 days, 21:34, 3 users, load average: 4.02, 4.06, 4.01 ___ XFree86 mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xfree86
