Hello all,

I am having some difficulty setting up X windows in a Slackware system.
Under Win95/98 my video card can handle 24bit resolution.  However when I
try to tell the xf86config in Linux utility that this is the res. that I
wish to use, it reports errors when I enter 'startx'.  Apparently it is
trying to use the Generic VGA driver/library rather than the SVGA one. 
How can I make sure I have the SVGA drivers installed and that these are
the ones I am using in the setup process?

Thanks,

Matthew Stapleton

Sorry it took so long to get the information you all needed. Other things
came up.

I have attached the log for the errors that appear when I use the command
'startx'.  In addition I have attached the output of Superprobe and my
'env' if that helps.

The Linux kernel seems to be 2.2.19 (Slack8.0), and I do run or am
attempting to run X11 4.x.x.  I would like to achieve a dot resolution of
800x600 if that is possible.

If I have failed to include some potentially useful information just tell
me what it is and I will try to please.


Thanks,


Matthew Stapleton
