Lines: 22 Having successfully installed NetBSD and convincing it all to work with DOS co-resident on the disk (thanks to those who helped), I'm now faced with installing XFree386-1.2. The only details I know of the hardware is that it is a DELL 433s/M PC with DELL UltraScan monitor. On power-on the machine says it has a 'Quadtel S3 86C801/86C805 Enhanced VGA BIOS'. That's all I know about the hardware. I tried a few 'ChipSet' entries. 'et4000' seemed to work the best. The mouse didn't work (it's a Logitech mouse which doesn't plug into either COM port, rather it has it's own) and the screen as presented was the standard X background with many copies of the same xterm vertically displaced. This is all magic to me. Any help would be appreciated. I have the PC till Saturday so if anyone has installed this on a Dell then please get in touch! I just hope the friend I am doing this for appreciates all this work I'm putting in! Cheers, Dave.
