Okay, I found elsewhere and ran apt-get install x-core something...
It worked, I've got X running (crappy colors, but whatever) now I'm experiencing the 1" offset everyone talks about. I tried to set the vga=770 in lilo.conf but nothing happens, and I get an error: You passed an undefined mode number press <retur> to see available vidoe modes, <space> to continue, or wait 30 sec... I've tried both options. With return I'm presented with a list of available modes, I'm half way through the list; I'll let you all know if I find one that works. --Raf ------------------------------------------------------------------- Rafael A.

I read up on the difficulties some have had getting XFree86 to work on it, and I've used their information to the best of my knowledge in getting X to work. Its a simple problem, but one I should know better to take care of. When I initiate X (startx or xinit) the laptop begins to spew a whole bunch of information and attempts to start X. It craps out shortly and returns the following error: Fatal server error: could not open default font 'fixed' Some links have pointed me to some possibilities with the font.aliases file, but I haven't quite yet ventured there. I'm wondering if anyone has had any similar problems, and if you could hopefully point me along in the right direction. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks, --Raf ------------------------------------------------------------------- Rafael A. Hinojosa [EMAIL PROTECTED]
