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….
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.

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,
