I successfully put together my new system over the
weekend.
Hooray! There's just no comparison between a 486/66
w/40M RAM
and 1.5G disk space, and a K6-3-450 w/128M RAM and
13.5G
disk space. :-)
However, there's still an unresolved issue. OK,
a couple of
unresolved issues. :-) The big one is that X isn't working
with
my
video card. I've tried tinkering with different settings,
but
even
in 640x480 mode, the resulting display is much bigger
than
my screen, so I wind up looking at a tiny section of the
center
of what the screen *should* look like. I assume that
I need
either a new driver for my Voodoo3 AGP, a new
XConfig, or both. Could someone point me at
these?
I know
there's nothing wrong with the hardware because everything
works
in Windows -- yes, it's a double-boot machine. :-(
I'm running Caldera 2.2, which is a 2.2.5
kernel. I ended
up going with a standard multisync monitor cable
(RGBHV).
I'm
not sure if the sound card (SoundBlaster 16 ISA PnP) is
working
in Linux either.
