Hi,
Last night I was trying to run XFree 1.3 When I switch my video card from ATI V
GA WONDER to a Trident VGA 9000, I lost my cursor. My cursor just disappear.
Every thing was find in DOS when I was doing the setup for the card. My XFree a
lso will not start. It just a fuzzy white with a big X near the bottom of the s
creen. So I know it was in graphics mode, but perhave the wrong timimg. If anyo
ne could fingure what I did wrong I realy appriciated.
My Xconfig is to follow: with comment deleted
