I did the install onto the HD in the Compaq, set inittab to 3 and moved
the HD to the decTOP.
I booted without the ethernet USB dongle, and after I was logged in, I
plugged it in. I had to bring up eth0 and start dhclient. But the
network is working.
But X is not. Different video.
/etc/sysconf/hwconf has the right info:
Class: VIDEO
bus: PCI
detach: 0
desc: "National Semiconductor Corporation Geode GX2 Graphics Processor"
vendorId: 100b
deviceId: 0030
subvendorId: 100b
subdeviceId: 0030
pciType: 1
pcidom: 0
pcibus: 0
pcidev: 1
pcifn: 1
So how do I 'fix' X?
