I copied the required stuff from my IDE CDROM to the DOS partition and installed from there (the boot disk does not recognize my CD-ROM :( ). My question is related to XFree86. I have not been able to get X running in a satisfactory manner on my 'Number Nine FX9 Motion 771' 2Mb card. All I can do is run it in VGA16 mode. A power up, I see this board has a 968 chip, and I have tried several of the 968 based entries from xf86config, but none of them seem to work. Suggestions? Does anybody out there has the exactly same board? And while I am at it, where can I find a mwm and Motif libraries for XFree86? And a Netscape or compatible browser? Thank you, Manuel E-I mei@spain.hp.com
