Virtual PC 2007 and slackware 12.0 - KDE
 

Hello everybody,

I hope to be in the right forum.

First time caller and really newbie on Linux so be cool/patient/indulgent….:confused:
I’m deseperatly trying to install Slackware 12.0 using virtual PC2007 environment.
Installation is fine, (full install to avoid missing parts) but problem begins when I try to setup KDE DESKTOP/graphical environment. :scratch:

I’m not able to make it works !!!
Depending on thousand configurations tried, either the graphic interface is coming but mouse is not working, or I can’t start graphical environment and get errors.

I’ve tried running :
xorgconfig
xorgcfg -textmode
xwmconfig and selecting KDE or whatever.

Actually, when I start X, I’ve an error (EE) No drivers available or (EE) no screen found.
I understand that I’m not able to setup/find the correct conf.org configuration. (I'm maybe wrong)

(From Virtual PC help) Virtual PC emulates graphic card as follow:
S3 Trio 32/64 PCI with 8 MB Video RAM

And I selected mouse in “Auto” mode (or P/S2)

As hardware devices are all the same and emulated by Virtual PC, I’m guessing if somebody as already done the correct configuration to share the /etc/X11/conf.org file.

Any and all helps/suggestions/comments will be greatly appreciated!

Many thanks in advance,

Ok, I'm now working with vmWARE player, quite easy to install....
Virtual PC 2007 is fine for Windows environment...Not yet done for Linux (at least slackware 12.0)
