The problem is when running startx, the screen seems to be somewhat compressed. I have tried all the various Mach_64 Xservers. I have an ATI Mach64 Video card with 4megs ram. I have tried using different settings for the mouse. All prove to not get X windows to start. Is the problem with a particular file other than XF86Config ?? I would greatly appreciate any help to remedy the problem. Thank you in advance for any help. Lanny
