Hi
Looking for some tips on two problems I have since I sold my old computer
and put the linux HD in my pentium.

I have slakware 3.0 (ELF) with 1.2.13 kernal already installed on a 420Mb
IDE HD.  I have run the setup script to try to change the kernel to
support the CDROM with no luck (tried all IDE options) so I ended up
copying the Slackware CDROM directories to my other HD for attempting to
reconfigure linux.  Ideas?

X worked fine with the svga server with the trident card I had in the old
computer.  Now I have a diamond stealth 64 VRAM PCI with 2Mb VRAM. 
Nothing I do will show that X detects the card. The config utility and
autoprobe can't see it either.  When X attempts to start, it complains
about no free VTs and aborts.  What am I doing wrong??  (I am using the S3
server).

Richard
