Re: PXES 8 not working (but 5 did)

Diego,

Yes, the prebuilt image works, but whenever I build one of my own using 
pxesconfig, it never works -- not matter how simple I make the image.

Again, I am using pxes .8.  I am using Gentoo linux on a dual PIII IBM 
Netfinity 4500R.

The client in question is a dell optiplex g1 with an ATI 3d Rage Pro card, 64 
megs of ram and a celeron 333 cpu.

Also, I noticed that the autoconfig script for X works less effectively than 
did .5.1.  .5.1 was able to configure the card nicely at 1024x768 with a 
refersh of about 75hz -- .8 only gets it at 800x600 at 60hz.

Any help is sincerely appreciated.

Thanks!

Chris
