Sorry for the delay, I was in another county yesterday doing my other
duties.
These machines are just generics. We got them as hand-me-downs from the
FDA.
Alright - I was able to put an old S3 video card into the machine. I
commented out the VESA and 4096 statements and fired up the machine
using the 640x480 and 800x600 settings (separate boot-ups). I did
actually get to the GUI screen this time. Both resolutions resulted in
the login screen appearing, but when I try to log in it goes black then
comes back to the login screen - doesn't reboot, just back to the
login. I tried to put back in the VESA and the 4096 statements, but the
Xserver crashes again.
As far as the other machines are pulling their names - I can see when I
do a "w" I see the other users logged into ws131. As far as the ones I
am having trouble with, I don't know how to see their names other than
when the DHCP kicks in I can see the static IP being assigned.
Thanks for your help guys I feel like I'm getting close -
Mike
