Hello, Pat C. here again...

I installed the X configuration files from the Distributions menu item
under sysinstall.

I chose the graphical configuration tool, and was able to configure
mouse, keyboard, monitor (Super VGA), but I got an error when I tried to
configure the S3 card. There was a message saying abort, and reinstall
the SVGA server, instead of the S3 server.

Fine, I did so. I know I have an S3 card, but don't know anything else
re: the card. So when I tried to start the
X-window server, I got an error message saying unable to start the
server, reconfigure.

When I did so again, and set video for 800X 600, 8 bit color, the system
locked.
Since I had to re-start without a clean shutdown , I ran fsck after
re-start.

I entered the command: /stand/sysinstall.

Suggestions, please?
