Although it only has 512 Mb RAM (I presume) I'd like to get it working with X Windows. Can someone suggest the correct timings and configuration for this combination? The monitor is the HP D1194A Super VGA monitor. I've tried a number of combinations, but can't even get the X server to stay up long enough to try the ctl-alt-+ hack. I'm using a loopback (ping works) so that shouldn't be the problem. The screen usually ends up scrambled (three columns of the same text.) I found that one can use rundos -v to reset the video modes - is there a cleaner way of doing this? -- Paul Gillingwater Home system: paul@actrix.co.at (Waffle), Vienna, Austria (!= Kangaroos) ** If you read news with rn/trn, ask me about EEP! the friendly .newsrc editor!
