I tried to get X up and running on an old DECpc 450SLC/e 486sx laptop,
running woody last night. I installed the xserver-vga16 package:
<http://packages.debian.org/stable/x11/xserver-vga16.html>
I also installed wdm
<http://packages.debian.org/stable/x11/wdm.html>
and then tried starting it using
/etc/init.d/wdm start
The wdm daemon started, but no login screen appeared. When I looked
at /var/log/wdm.log, it complained about error in line 250 of
XF86Config. Line 250 is past the end of the XF86Config file that was
installed when I installed the server.
I'll dig into this file when I got home tonight, but all hints and
pointers of how to configure a 16 colour VGA display are appreciated.
Thanx!
