It's in the archives for this mailinglist. Also, with this kind of error, = the exact model
of the videocard is important, and you don't mention it.

Thank You a lot for helping.

Giovanni

p.s i've search for helping, i found something but i'don't understand how =

to edit (what comands) the XF86Config file.

If you don't know how to edit a file, may I politely suggest not starting with linux on the PA-RISC architecture? It's one of the faster-moving linux-versions, where not everything is expected to work, and some work (ie searching the archives) is to be expected.

Perhaps a nice Knoppix-cd on a regular x86 PC would be better to start with? Your experience with Linux will certainly be more to your liking then.

Kind regards,
Jurriaan
