I also got the same problem. I can just use X386mono that comes with SLS
0.99p6, but cannot get X386 working for all chipsets provided. My configuartion
is as follows:
1. 486 DX 33Mhz
2. 8 Mb RAM
3. 200 Mb Hard Disk
4. Genoa 8500VL Display Card (it says sth like 24-bit)
Note that on the card I found that the chip was manufactured by
Cirrus Logic.
Please post the reply as I know some others may also have the same problem.
Certainly, reply by e-mail to me directly will also be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
