Very Computer

        I still haven't found anything that will work to get X up on my
HP Vectra. Everything I do results in the X server causing the machine to
reboot itself. At this point in time I have configured the system to
use the SVGA generic X servere. Here are the results of X -probeonly
(which BTW doesn;t crash the machine).

        Could someone *please* give me some advice here?

Also, when selecting the X server, choose option 5, "Use server based on
card definition".

Hope this helps some.

Hello,

Have you reconfigured your kernel to use your PS/2 mouse?  If you
haven't, your x-windows will *and your system will reboot
shortly after you launch X.

good luck,

tom

=============================================

        At this point I can start X without crashing my machine.
Unfortunatley the mouse doesn't *work* , it just doesn't crash the
machine. Yes I changed the link to /dev/mouse to what I think is the
correct device for a PS/2 mouse.

        Anyone have any good sugestiosn here ?
