Hi
thanks for your answer
Im afraid that I have put this aside for now I have to give the CD's back today and I need a working machine to work on
so I have put back MDK10 on the PC . I will get back on this later as I am planning to set up a new PC on whiich I can just try out stuff.
BTW I did try that but to no avail, this set up was running me around in circles I went quite far into the nitty gritty but I always came back to the same problem
I tried dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86
last but this didnt work
It could be that my card was not recognised ( matrox450)
because I ran through the instalation several times and it asked me for a bunch of CD's
I saw the screen output installing the x server as well as KDE but then nothing happened at the STARTX prompt
I dont know so .... ..
THANKS AGAIN EVERYBODY FOR TRYING TO GET ME UP ON THIS
