I just installed Interactive release 2.2 and tried to bring up Xwindows and
it just blanked my screen and locked up my keyboard. The really bad thing
is that I could not even swap back to the console to kill any processes, it
was the big bad RED button time. I tried various Xvga drivers include the
generic VGA one (which incidentally, work with Interactive 2.0.2 with
Xwindows 1.0, so I know it can work with my hardware). The main reason I
wanted the new Xwindows was to get a driver that would support a higher
resolution than 640x480. So, does any kind sole have any idea what I could
be doing wrong? The Xwindows is pretty much just straight out of the box
(ie. I didn't change and configuration parameters except what it prompted
me to do through the installation).
Thanks,
