Hey Guys,
No luck on the telent/ftp access thing yet, but I'm on another diversion
now... Color X
I was running off of internal video until today (thought it would be
simpler) anyway I have access to a bunch of old nubus video cards so I
figured I'd try plugging them in until I found one that worked...
when I put one in all booted fine until the process names the ethernet
card. then it froze.
ok, so I looked in the FAQ and saw that I should play with the order of
the cards... I rebooted after swithcing the two cards, and everything
went well until the video card came up and then I got the message
"slot_noint() slot d"
I played around with all the video cards I had and either got the same
messages or it didn't work at all.
once I removed the ethernet card, almost all of the video cards worked
fine (I even got higer resolutions in X!)
any thoughts???
