Look in your /etc/X11 directory for a file called Xserver. The first line
of that file is the Xserver that is used. Change that to whatever you
want it to be. Or, you can just use XF86Setup and select your video card
from the list and it will automatically make the needed changes.

I want to compile a kernel on one machine and move it to another, but am
having som problems. The kernel README (2.2.9) just says to compile it,
copy it to where lilo looks for the kernel, and run lilo. I've done this
on the other machine, and I get to the "loading linux" message and then
nothing
Might want to try making the device with MAKEDEV.

Try reading the install documentation. It tells you all you need to know
about installing the base system. From there, you download packages.gz
files that have lists of packages and you select which ones you want.
This is all taken care of in the installation process so all you need to
do is inst
I'm trying to install Debian on a PS/2 55 sx (386/16) and am running into
a number of problems. First, I've compiled a 2.2.9 kernel for it, and
copied it onto the machine and run lilo, but when I try to boot, it
uncompresses the kernel and says it's booting the kernel, but nothing ever
happens. I
You could try mounting the drive as a vfat drive and creating the long dir
that way. I'm not sure if that will work or not (probably won't if the
drive is formated by DOS) but it's worth a try.

Well, probably the easiest way is to check with the manufacturer. How old
is the card? You can try doing a pnpdumpo and see if your card is
detected. If not, it's probably not PNP. Another way to tell is to try
doing a modprobe, but that would involve you compiling a kernel probably.
I'm going
What type of card do you have? Is it PCI or ISA? If it's ISA, is it
PNP? We can probably get your card going. I am undertaking the same
project with a few more complications. Namely a PS/2 and MCA bus.

Yes this is true, to some extent. YOu have to have two processors with
the same stepping and revision in order to dual-proc them. I have heard
though, that you can have two processors of different stepping and
revision numbers and still multi-proc them, but your performance may
suffer a little.
I was just given a PCI modem by a friend of mine and he calims it's a PNP
modem but not a winmodem. I hope he's right, but I don't know how to tell
if it's a winmodem. Debian sees the modem when I cat /proc/pci and calls
it a serial interface card (same thing windows calls it until you give it
