I followed instructions, set my Hsync rate to 30-36 Khz and attempted to run startx. It caused a fatal server error because it could not write to ttyvc, which is what it did before I figured out "X vtxx". I tried "startx vt1", but it still came up with the same error. I need a way to direct startx to the terminal I am using. I don't know if the sync rate has been fixed, as I have not been able to run the server. So, how do I set the virtual terminal on startup? I RTFMed startx, but it doesn't say. Should I just try running "X vt1"? Thank you. -Spike Gronim sporkl@dti.net "Tradition is the chastity belt of the mind"
