Note to Self
Don't try to run X servers on anything based on SIS...
I just spent 3 days learning the ins and outs of the linux X-Windows Servers (In my case XFree86... is there any others?)
and it still won't run in grapical mode...
It's a very well documented problem... so at least I am not the only one.
Well back to windows
for me until I head to the parents and pick up some older vid cards to play with (I think I have a Cirrus Logic and an ATI and an older Diamond vid card kicking around the workbench over there)
Oh and I did try all the options that worked for other people when editing the XF86Config file in /etc/X11
Option 'no_accel'
Option 'no_linear'
Option 'no_bitblt'
Option 'no_imageblt'
and there were others too...
MMMmmm if I had gotten it to work I would have been lucky to have non accelerated Grapics in I think it was 320*200 in 16 colors
