Hello,
i'm writing because i used to run linux on my previous computer and
would like to do it at present but the thing holding me back is that i tried
to run X,the thing i tried is to use a pre-release of the debian's X packages,
it didn't fly at all,then i compiled a kernel with vesa support with the intent
to try both the xggi server and the fb server,i used binary version of these
X server,everything else was compiled (kernel which is rather easy and the
various ggi lib needed),i also tried to compile the latest xggi server,it
didn't fly,in the end,i tried metro-x but it didn't fly too,it didn't
recognized my card and though i had a 13 inch monitor (it's 14 inch in fact
and 320x200 isn't my cup of tea),the question i have is does NanoGUI (or
NanoX) support X windows,i'm rather tired of running NT and i would love to
get back on linux.
p.s.my graphic chipset is an SiS 6326 AGP 8 MB,run beautifully with the
kernel's vesa driver at 800x600.
Thanks in advance.
