I'll try. But I'm on email (Alpine 1.10) at
the
moment, and I'm not going to try to copy a file that
length
into it, page by page or screen by screen.
Does the list accept attachments?? I can probably
do
that; or I can use Pan (0.132) against Gmane -- my normal
and strongly favored way of monitoring this list -- which
will let me paste the whole huge thing (from gedit, which
will let me copy it all at once) smack into the text of a
post.

That certainly seems to be the one, yes, thanks!
But
I've moused all over it, following every likely link,
only
to conclude there's no finding a driver without knowing
your
video card.
So I broke down and sent an email to the guy who
built my current machines for me, asking if he has records
of what he put in. Stay tuned.

I missed your previous posts, maybe clicking real fast, but I have an integrated video in
the motherboard and I use OpenChrome driver.

When I installed the machine, I booted to level 5, and I tried to play a dvd and I would
see lines across the screen and I have a Samsumg SyncMater 914v Flat Panel Monitor. I
tried getting the via drivers and thankfully they did not compile. What I did to fix my
situation was the following:
Change inittab:5 to 3, that is from level 5 to level 3
and then type startx.
What I noticed is that I did not see the lines that I saw when the system booted into
level 5. I played movies and did not see the bad lines that I previously saw. This
corrected the issue for me. I also use Slax Linux on this machine and when the machine
booted and logged in automatically to X, the lines appeared, but then, I booted in text
mode and created a module for the OpenChrome drivers
http://www.slax.org/modules.php?action=detail&id=713
I started X with startx and the lines did not appear. Problem was solved for me. I hope
that this helps you with your problems.

Antonio
