I would appreciate any advice on getting X etc. to work with my Sony Vaio F340. It has the NeoMagic NM2200 Chipset.
When I type startx I get a blank, grainy screen, and nothing else happens. The trackpad does move the pointer, however. During installation I chose the twm window manager for no apparent reason; I think it was given as the default, but I would be open to changing it. I chose the "simple" option for selecting packages and selected everything associated with Gnome. Steve
