Reconfiguring X in Mandrake 8.2???
I have been banging my head fro two days now over an install issue. I am using a DFI motherboard PM10-EL with VIA 8223A Southbridge chip. On regular install from Mandrake 8.2, and 9 and also Redhat 9 all hang in the middle of installation of packages or display messages can't find package so and so <changes randomly> .. sometimes crashing in kernel panic.
I ran across this relevant article
W3viaarena.com/?PageID=297
however since it wouldn't install on this motherboard I did the install on another MB and moved it to the DFI... then applied the patch for the VT8233A chip... recompiled and repointed lilo to the newly compiled kernel...
And aparently since the install was done on another MB I don't get the graphical login in Mandrake 8.2 ... Same monitor, known to work on this version... different video chip I am guessing is the prob.... looked around and couldn't find SuperProbe...
What DO I do to get the video mode enabled from the text login to see if this worked?
I checked linuxconf settings and graphical login was selected there, I don't know what else to do... I get a crash on startx.
Thanks for any info..
Mike
