Hi, i have just installed Linux on my pc, and am generally very happy about it
( except that i need about 30 meg more ram !! ) but i have two questions that
i hope someone can answer
1) even though i have a supervga board and monitor, ( TRIDENT 8900b ) i believ i can only get X to start up in 640x480 mono mode, does anybody know how
to get X running in colour ??? if i try to configure it for colour, it
just exits out with some horriblke error about not enough raam to run in
1024 x 1024 mode ??? any ideas ?? ( i have 512k on the card )
2) i have an agiler mouse with three buttons, and in my Xconfig i use the
option Microsoft for the mouse ( as none of the others seem to work ! )
but the only way i can get three buttons working, is to set the option
Emulate3Button, which makes a click of LEFT+RIGHT buttons, simulate a
middle button !! does anybody know what options i should use ??
Thanks.
Nick
