I've installed YDL on my 9600, on a separate drive.  Install seemed to go
fine.  However when I try to run X it either fails and or if X runs whateve=
r
it displays is not legible.

I've rerun Xconfigurator a number of times trying different settings with
varying results.  Xconfigurator always tells me that "Video card detection
failed".  Also, X fails at any setting above 800X600 at 16 bit color depth.
X will run at the 800X600 settings but the display is so bad that I cannot
read what's on the screen.  If I try settings above 800X600 I get the
following error message:
> =20
> "Fatal server error:  no screen found
   =20
> XIO: fatal IO error 104 (connection reset by peer) on X server ":0.0"afte=
r 0
> requests (0 known processed) with 0 events remaining
>=20

I'm not exactly sure what display card I have although a label on the card
indicates that it's a Twin Turbo 128+.  My monitor is a SuperMac 20-T (Sony
Trinitron).  I=B9m able to display at 1024X768, 74.9Hz, at 32 bit color depth
on the mac os.

Thanks,

Don Ahrens
