Hello forum,

recently i discovered Antix...been using it for a while and it is good. thanks.

one problem is that my mouse position is wrong when the screen is in 800 by 600......the mouse hovers 2 inches away from where it should be...

?

my video chips is the chip inside a compaq presario 700....laptop

what can you sugest to stop this problem....it only happens in lower rez settings...

also, how do i enable VESA drivers at boot up?...what is the command needed?

thanks

Vince.

I would first check what chip you have and make sure you have the correct driver.

To use the vesa driver you have to modify your xorg.conf.

as root: leafpad /etc/X11/xorg.conf

Find the"section device" and"driver" and change it to vesa.

Hello

thanks for your reply

The video chip in my machine is a"savage3 via twister" chip

according to the file in question...it lists the driver as a"savage" driver......which appears correct...

changing it to"vesa"...made no difference

here is the linux driver for my video chip...ubuntu version

The one you have installed is the same but newer version than the one you show from ubuntu.
