Everything went fine untill I wanted to install XWindows. All I got was a blank screen and my computer crashing. I know it's an configuring problem (prob. something to do with videocard;Ramdac;...). I've tried allmost everything, but it will not work. Is there a FAQ-list on this subject. Like Install-faq or X-Windows-faq or ... ? Tnx! Bert
