The machine is not VESA compliant. IBM did make a VESA TSR for DOS so Windows 95 could use VESA, but that won't work with Linux. Right now, X does sometimes start, but the video chip and video memory aren't detected properly and it starts in 320x200x1 bit mode, which isn't very usable. Even VGA with 640x480x4 bits would be much better, and 640x480x8 bits is as good as the machine can do. Would a dump of the X log be helpful? Chris
