Re: Can't start X



I finally fixed this last night by using Xorg 6.8. Thanks to those that
tried to help!

...and stupid mmiikkee12 does the same thing again.

I thought I sent that to the list.

Anyway, I had X working at one time on this same computer. But then my net
connection got shut off for a while and I switched back to Windows
temporarily. This is my first Linux install since then.

No, there's no setting in my BIOS for that. And I don't think an

An i810, (in my experience at least) uses shared memory. If your BIOS
doesn't have such a setting, then the BIOS must firm-code it, which
seems a bit odd to me. In that case, you're stuck with whatever memory
the computer manufacturer has allocated.

(btw, it's considered bad etiquette on this list to take conversations
off-list, unless they've drifted off-topic. Thus I've re-routed it to
the list.)
