Hi everyone, I am having some problems setting up an x server and was hoping that
someone could help me out.
I installed mandrake 7.0 (first time)and when it came time install the x server, it
found my video card and suggested this driver cirrus logic GD 5434-8, which is
appropriate and my monitor is custom, but the manual tells me it supports, 800*600
H35.2khz V56hz, 800*600 H37.9khz V60hz, 800*600 H48.1khz V72hz, 1024*768 H48.4khz
V60hz, 640*480 H37.9khz V72hz; just to name a few.
Now when I test any configuration including the most basic, I get lines going down the
screen I can vaguely make out what's on the screen long enough to cancel back and try
another configuration.
I was wondering if anyone has any pointers for me, or knows where i can find help.
Oh another quick question, I can't seem to log on as root at startup? (in the command
line) I can get to root using su from another user but not immediately at startup,
anyone know why.
Thanks again for your help,
Derk Hanero.
