Re: [Plug] Help with X installation

["Bill Jonas" <Bill_Jonas@email.msn.com>]

Thanks a million... worked like a charm and I was able to run XF86Setup.
New problem now (you knew this was coming, didn't you?  <g>):
I have an ATI 3D Rage IIc graphics card w/4meg which is supported by the
Mach64 driver.  The problem is that the display is, for lack of a better
term... not consistent.  Towards the left side (and parts) of the screen,
the display is mostly sharp, but towards the right hand side, it's
scrambled, mostly on a line-by-line basis.  I'm having a hard time finding
out what the RAMDAC and chipset are... ATI's web site isn't telling me
much... checked out www.xfree86.org as well.  By the way, I will be at the
user's group meeting tonight, so could anyone tell me which files to bring
hard copies of, and how to redirect the text output from startx to a file?
Thanks for any help you can offer.
