A couple days ago I downloaded linux and got it running on my Compaq 386/20e.
It's got 9 meg of ram but I still added 10 meg of swap. Then I was already to
to get X running, but I ran into some difficulty. I read Peter Hawkins
X assistance post but I'm still cornfused.
Configuration:
Compaq 386/20e
9 meg of ram
NEC/MultiSync 3D
Linux 0.96a
What are the proper setting for the builtin VGA card on a Compaq? I've tried
the default setting for the graphics driver and all it does it writes some
startup info and the screen go black. I can't even go to any other pttys so
I have to alt-cntl-del. Has anybody else tried getting X to run on a
Compaq. Then again I've also been wondering if my mouse (Logitech mouse
CJ13) is causing problems. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.
Thanks,
Bill
