The video card is an ATI Graphics Ultra Pro - 2MB VESA Local Bus. The monitor is a Mag DX17F. Both of these pieces of hardware are listed in the Xsetup configuration program - however when trying to use Xstart, I get a black screen and the whole system locks up. Can anyone tell me if there is a required patch, or if I need to adjust something else before things will work with my card/monitor. Any help or comments appreciated. Robert.
