Thanks for quick reply. I simply wish to enable 3D to the extent possible w/ATI RADEON 7500 (64mb), and otherwise verify that all is well w/graphics settings. What to read 1st to become well informed about Xorg? TIA --robert
Robert, You might want to join their mail list, if you are interested in the development of Xorg. It's simply a branch from the original XFree86 files after those guys decided on an unnecessary licensing changes. Actually, the Xorg project is moving along much faster and smoother than the XFree86 ever has! Again, though, if you are interested in taking part in the development or in just how it's going, visit their site and/or join their mail list. For setting up your Radeon 7500, try this: ctrl-alt-F1 (takes you to a text only terminal) login as root type: init 3 (quits X and drops you to text only) press enter type: sax2 (this will start the program to setup all your graphics) finish up sax2, return to the prompt type: init 5 (to get back to your desired GUI) good luck, Lee -- --- KMail v1.7.2 --- SuSE Linux Pro v9.2 --- Registered Linux User #225206 "Don't let the fear of striking out keep you from playing the game!"
