Last I looked, the fbdev X server > didn't do accelleration, which really dogs the system. Hm, if I only knew whether my PiccololSD64 supports SVGA or VGA. This drivers are aktivated in the XF86Config. The display I get in X or gnome is fine, of course. > Shouldn't that line be: > panel & Yes, now I know. > But, you need to do 'gnome-name-service &' first. > > You weren't trying to do that from an su'ed terminal, now were you? No, when I type this in a shell I get a "unknown command". But I must say Gnome is starting now. I realized that there was the XF86setup missing.
