Hi,

I just got a 760ED running Win95 and think it's terrific.

I also have an extra hard drive for the purpose of running Linux,
but although I know Unix fairly well I am having a heap of trouble
configuring XFree86. The X that came with my Debian distribution
didn't know about the Trident TGUI 9660 video card, so I got
XFree86 3.1.2G beta. Now xinit works, but it thinks I have
only 640x480, and I can't get it to recognize the mouse.

I am poring over the faq and archive of this list, but if anyone
out there has faced this and would identify herself to me,
I would be deeply grateful.

Thanks in advance,
-Bruce
