Greetings, Request your assistance. I have an older machine that I have not used in a while and decided to try to get Linux (Mandrake 6.1) up and going again. And I am hung up in a loop at boot-up.
My video card is a Diamond ET4000 with: Fatal server error: (--) SVGA: A color depth of 16bpp is not supported (linear memory required). I believed I caused this when I set the startX option as -bpp 16 in KDE with Xconfigurator. It complained with something like an error was encountered. Later on, when I rebooted I got stuck in a loop. How can I break out of the loop? On bootup all starts out well. The bootup process stops at the text based (not windows based) logon screen. As soon as I enter a character it jumps into a repeating screen showing many lines of (--) SVGA: Mode ....., which I can stop with ctrl-S and start again with ctrl-Q. Is there something like a magic key sequence? (ctrl-D, ctrl-Z, etc do no work). Thank you.
