Try lower settings in the config file. You can use Ctrl + Alt + Backspace to exit the xwindow system if it hangs (instead of reset) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------ Benjamin Hill ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------ Cybertek .

When I start X (startx) all I get is a blank screen. The only way I know how to get out of this situation is to hit the reset button! I looked at the configuration file, and it appears to have correctly identified the video card as a TGUI 96XX (it is the Trident 9680 adapter). The monitor type is unknown to X (but I know that it is a Teco TE1422, and that it works on the same machine under Windows NT at 800x600, 16 bit color @60 Hz) How does one go about troubleshooting the adapter/monitor setup???
