Hi, I just got linux slackware 3.6 the other day. And now trying to set up X for the 5th day. I have Clabs Riva TNT AGP 16mb card. I installed X 3.3.3.1, selected Riva TNT from the card list, select modes, monitor refresh rates, I tried em all... nothing works. I tried selecting Riva 128 instead of TNT still XF86Setup either jumps to text mode after i press done, and gives me errno 111. Wich i think might be accuring because it can't find config file... It doesn't seem to create it unless i don't specify any resolution, then it does. Next time i go to XF86Setup and try to change res, it won't save config. (This is entirely my theory i don't really know). After i finish XF86Setup without settin my resolution it will display screen with text runnin over the display limit saying 'You have successfully .... ' so i can't read the rest. I can also see half of the button saying 'okay'... Basically i see top left 1/4 of the screen, everything else is over the screen limits. When i start up X (without setting res previously otherwise it will give me errno 111) it will run same way... with only top left 1/4 of display on screen. I tried going to config file and manually settin everything to higher resolutuons, and startX, it still ignores it. I was told to use XF86Configure on efnets #linux. I can't find /usr/X11R6/XF86Configure... its not there, even though i did the default install of SlackWare. Could someone pls help me out with this or send me their config file if u have nVidia TNT. I am completely lost and frustraited... thanks in advance kabal
