Don't think it's a prob with LILO, screen wouldn't blink or sth, system would say "no OS" or something. It seems like you have 2 probs: either wrong vertSync-Frequenci, this causes the Screen to turn of for protection (too high frequency, watch the manual) and some mysterious problem with the X-Server. try using a standard CRT in your XF86Config, maybe you will be able to see the other prob. dd Am Fre, 07 Jan 2000 hat Keven R.
