Hi,
Just a short note of thanks to Jim, Eric & the entire K12 community for
the help and patience in dealing with an annoying problem. Only in this
environment would there be the concern and dedication herein expressed.
I'd love to see anything like this from M$ !! :-D
For those interested the problem resided in having an extra parameter in
the
X_MODE_0 = 1024x768
X_MODE_1 = 800x600
statements, seems that only one can be configured in the lts.conf file when dealing with older hardware. In this case Compaq Deskpro P-I 75-166 Mhz, some worked other gave the fatal Xserver error. With the help of Jim & Eric I was able to resolve this annoying problem.
Kudos to all in this great group.
thanks
norbert
