Howdy, NetFolk!
I just installed (WHEW!) SLS's linux on my machine which has the following
specs:
Gateway 4DX2-66V with
1.44 and 1.2 floppies
405MB Western Digital IDE hard drive
Gateway CrystalScan 1572 FS monitor
ATI Local Bus Graphics Ultra Pro card for graphics
Gateway's CD ROM drive
Microsoft mouse on COM2 (aka. cua1?)
When I ran ati.test.c, I got the following results, saying pretty
much that the system recognized my card.

I tried to make the appropriate adjustments to my Xinitrc and so on,
but X still refuses to get started, nor to let my poor mouse do its job.

In advance,
