Re: video couldn't be autodetected

Hi Diego,
first of: Keep up the good work :)
Second, my problem:
I do not use the prebuilt iso but one i created myself (I had ticked
both the create iso and create nbi option)
I used XFree86 4.3.0
The iso works, but the nbi doesn't work on computers where the nic is a
D-link DFE-530TX
Hope you have some more suggestions,

Sander
