I am trying to install Linux Peanut on a Packard Bell 205CD Legend, with a Firehawk mother board, an Intel 486 DX 2, 66 Mhz, 64 MB of RAM, Phoenix Bios 4.07.5 and embedded Cirrus Logic CL-DG5428, 1 MB of video memory and a Packard Bell monitor 1402S. The question is... When I try to install the video server ( I am using XFree86 version 4.2 ) it ask for the Chip which is listed and the monitor is not. I used the custom side and used the monitor book, adjusting the Horizontal and Vertical according to monitor specs. Once is set it ask to probe and the screen goes blank and nothing happens. Afterwards it said that the video card has to be configured ????? But it sends me back to the monitor settings.... and start a vicious circle. I tried several settings and nothing works. Except one... I use unlisted card and unknown monitor and I get half of screen ???? The problem it looks odd. I get the full screen when the system is getting install, like an old DOS program with colors and progression bars and all the goodies that is supposed to display during installation, but, XWindows does not want to show, all other drivers will configure, like sound card and modem, but not video. This is my first time installing Linux of any flavor. Please help !!!
