Pinnu said: [unable to start X with] > Graphics card :2MB Diamond stealth 3D 2000 This is your problem. XFree86 does not yet support the ViRGE chipset which this board uses in other than SVGA 640x480 mode. You have two options. XInside has a (commercial) server which supports this chipset. Or, wait for XFree86 3.2, which claims to support this chipset. http://www.xfree86.org claims 3.2 will be available "at the end of October." -- Jacob DeGlopper, EMT-B, N3RHI jacob@mayhem.com
