Custom install, how do I find out what kind of video card I have? I tried
using the generic monitor, same thing. Have tried installing "everything",
and piecing it together, putting almost everything in, minus the jap,
Italian......, etc., languages. Right now I'm trying again with
/
/usr
swap file
/boot
100M
1070M
33M
100M
respectfully, tried it with the dir. I got off of the list here (old letter I
saved) got the same thing,

OK video card ViRGE/VX
X Server SVGA
that's what I have and that is what Linux is telling I have(at that point in
install again :o( ) going to click on OK again......loaded X Free86-SVGA
3.3.2.3-25
CLICKED ON NEC Multisync XE15.....
screen blinks twice and goes away....
Do I need to get a different video card?
Thanx for the help.
