Grant I have had similar problems. Sarge installs very neatly and easily but tailoring it is making me pull my hair out. The monitor problem can be resolved on installation by not allowing Sarge to manage the video set up and instead doing it yourself. My problem is getting my keyboard and mouse working: its fine if I allow the default but not if I want to start with a limited system and only add the software I want (I am installing on an old computer - P111, 366Mhz, 384Mb Ram so I do not destroy my working machine: I don't want KDE and gnome plus all their software, I want a windows manager, firefox and openoffice for now, Mutt later - once I learn it and have worked out how to network this machine with my existing). Question: where is the XF86Config-4 file? and where can I learn how to amend it Henry -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG Mail majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxx with "unsubscribe list" in the message body to unsubscribe.
