Got my home machine up 2.1.6 -> 2.2.8 this weekend. What didn't work was the graphical X setup, it would start a running server at the end; but a 'startx' would produce mondo clock-errors, and fail to start (cirrus logic 5422). However, the script based setup got a workable XF86Config !? I'll need play with it some more to see what is the difference between the config's produced by each ... Anyhow, try the script set-up to see if it gives any better results for you. Regards, -- Don Read sysop@calcasieu.com EDP Manager dread@texas.net Calcasieu Lumber Co.
