I have installed it with the manpages and some other things very nicely, but I am having some trouble configuring X on it. I think that I am just screwed. Here is the information: I have a Vivtron 1572 monitor with a STB Powergraph 32 video card. Is this going to be a feasible thing? (I really hope so. I really want to switch control and alt on this keyboard so that my left pinky stops hurting sooo much in emacs...) I have tried all of the STB video card drivers with the standard VGA server (option #2 I think on the menu in xf86config). None of these work. It just sits for a couple of minutes and quietly reboots. Suggestions?? Thanks Soren
