I have an Athlon 800 with an AMD chipset. I also have an ATI Radeon card
and cannot seem to get X to work. Tried 7.2... no luck. Tried 8.0 Won't
even boot after install just hangs.
Running x configuration during install locks system.
Can anyone recommend a good ultra low end mobo/processor/video combo that
will harmonize with 8.0. I want to set up a linux box to learn... doesn't
have to be any kind of screamer. 3d graphics are of little importance.
TIA,
Rick
