Re: [Vectorlinux-devel] Alpha 1.15

[Newt <gen...@gm...>]

Hello,

Thanks Uel. I did not think it would be possible but thought I'd ask.

I have tried 'gui vga=normal' and have the same problem at the same place - just
after 'logging in as root' when X should start.

I think I still have 6StdGold installed on that system so I'll try updating xorg
to use 'vesa' and see if the same issues occur. I'm sure that when I installed
StdGold it was via the ncurses installer so I probably never ran across this
problem back than. I'll let you know how it goes.

Cheers, newt
