Hi,
#include "pat.on.back.for.linus"
I've been tinkering with getting X11 to work with my setup
(50 MHz 486 with an Tseng Labs ET4000 card and a tatung multi scanning
monitor) and for ages was unable to get a stable picture in any of the
modes that the various resources had told me should work. Then
completely by accident I tried to start X11 after I had selected one of
the SVGA text modes at boot time (100x40) and It worked perfectly. Can
anyone out there give me a vague idea of why this is so. If more
details are required mail me and I'll supply what's needed.
Thanks in advance to whomever decides to help.
