Trouble with X

[Damien Hull]

I've got X working now. Here's what I did.

1. put my Nvidia GeForce FX card back in 
2. had trouble with the nv driver so I switch to the vesa driver. No 3D
but it gives me 1024x768

I'm still having trouble with font's but I should be able to follow the
hand book. Maybe this time it will work.
