How did you get the X server to work at all? I'm running a Starmax 
3000/180 (same video as your 4000) and I've never been able to get it 
to work. Actually, now that I think about it, I've never been able to 
get Yellowdog to install at all. I gave up trying to run Linux because 
of all the problems I had trying to get it to work.

Before you ask, I'm still on Linux lists because I hope to see the 
solutions to my problems one day. ;^)
