:smash:

if you supply what distro and any kind of hardware your using might help us point out your problem.

:Pengy:

I'm running a distro called Peanut-Linux

And this is what it is running on.

Toshiba T4800CT Laptop

486DX4 75MHz
wd90c24 Western Digital Video chipset 1MB mem
24MB ram
1GB Linux Partition (Exprimental) w/XFree86 Prob.
2GB Linux Partition (Working)

might want to check out this link from www.linux-laptop.net in getting x to work. http://www.ldeo.columbia.edu/~gerhar...LINUXT4600.htm

Yea I've been there before, it helped me with XFree86 v3.x. But it is no good for XFree86 v4.1. I did notice there doesn't seem to be an option for SVGA, is this true.

:confused:

Bummer after looking :study: at XFree86's site agian, I found that my chipset is no longer sopported. :cry:

Thanks for tring to help. :Pengy:
