I am a newbie to Linux. I have been a long time user of AIX and OS/2. I recently installed Linux on my machine at home (486dx33). I think I just about have it going except for one more line in the XF86Config file. I am trying to set the clock speeds for my Viper VLB card. In reading the sunsite web page, it says that I no longer need to give a clock speed, as X-windows will autoset it. However, if I do not set it, starting x-windows burps that I must set it. Is there a newer version of the x-server for the viper than what I presently have? I would appreciate any help. For the values of clock that I did try, my screen goes ballistic!
