Configuration
Abit BE6 II / PII 400 (slot) / Diamond Stealth 3000 3D (pci - 4 megs - s3) /
old 1.7 gig WD and very old 16x Mitsumi cd / Serial mouse on Com 1 /
AcerView 76e

Installing Mandrake 7.2 (?)

Installation goes well EXCEPT for the xconfigurator. It detects the card and
installs the svga server - then claims there is a problem with my
xconfiguration and sends me back. I have tried numerous
res/refresh/colordepth settings to no avail. If anyone has dealt with this
or knows of the simple step I have obviously overlooked (sorry - total Linux
neophyte) please chime in.

thanks!
