Linux Mandrake ConfigureX Problem
Linux Mandrake 8.0 Install Problem:
Have the following setup:
Asus A7V Motherboard
Amd 900Mhz Thunderbird
512mb PC 133 Ram
Samsung 950P Monitor
ATI All In Wonder 128 Pro 32mb 4x AGP Video Card
SoundBlaster MP3+ Soundcard
Yamaha 2100EZ CDRW
Creative Labs 6X PC-DVD Rom Drive
Maxtor ATA 100 Hard Drives (3)
My main OS is Windows 98SE.Linux Mandrake is on the partition after 98.
Previously had Mandrake 7.2 installed on that partition. I decided to do a fresh install of Mandrake 8.0 on this partition.
Problem: I have the same exact hardware setup now as I had when I originally installed 7.2.
With the install of 8.0 >when I get to configureX > I never get a successful test> I get the following message in the upper left corner of the screen:
"/tmp/ppa.0 : Init_Module : No Such Device"
I've tried all kinds of combinations in the ConfigureX setup- How do I solve this problem? I haven't played with Linux in awhile- I don't remember having these problems before when I installed 7.2 > my problem then was getting Mandrake to work with my Asus board with the Promise ATA 100 controller & booting with System Commander- learned how to edit the LiloConfig file to make it work.If I could get into a GUI succeesfully then maybe I could do whatever extra needs to be done.
At this point when I boot up,then CTL,ALT,F1 I get to a text login screen (no GUI),I've tried configuring again with XFdrake- still no luck.
I know I'm a linux newbie -during install should I be selecting automatically start X with one user and the KDE desktop selected?
Thank's in advance for anyone's help- dazed and confused- Dave
