Greetings Wise Debian Users, I am having some trouble getting Xserver to work on my PC.
I downloaded the base file to my WIN98 partition. I got the basic system to work. I got the modem to work and downloaded the 189MB for the Workstation profile(incl. web, etc.) I installed LILO and I can dual boot now without the floppy boot disk. I went into xf86config (several tries) and tried to configure the Xserver according to my hardware. I have some unusual hardware and I'm wondering if I will be able to get it all to work ?? When I start up the system in Linux now, I get an X window. It has the Debian LOGO on top but the font is quite large and doesn't really fit. There are a few executed commands shown below the logo. The mouse does not seem to work at that point and I don't know what to do within the window. There is "no where to go". I have a Super Socket 7 and AMD 300MHz mainboard (PCCHIPS). There is an on-board SiS video chip (6326) with 8MB memory. I have tried to pick the only SiS video card listed but the model# is not the same. I have also tried the generic VGA and the unsupported VGA. The SuperProbe says it is Super-VGA, Tseng ...., 0kb memory and Generic 8-bit pseudo-color DAC. Also, an issue down the road might be the on-board sound chip from C-media. Finally, I have added an ATX Form Card that has a P/S2 mouse connection and two USB ports. I have the mouse connected there and I chose #4 for P/S mouse on the configuration(also choose /dev/mouse rather than ttyS0. The modem works fine on ttyS1. Any suggestions would be helpful. Thanks, Don
