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?
