Hi Mario!=0A=0ADid you installed the right vga driver? Did you make de righ= t xorg.conf for Xserver?

I can also send the list of processes running on this 6.4 whic= h i guess most of them are=0Anormal. and the only application open is firef= ox connected to GMAIL . Any idea what should I check?=0A=0AI like to have a= UNIX like OP. System to work on my JAVA programs. That I was doing with WI= N-XP=0Aso far.
