I attempted to post this last Friday: but somehow it apparently did not make 
it to the list.( :-(

(Perhaps because I sent it from my Broadband address and the server did not
recognise me as a member?)

I shall be most grateful for any help.
   
I have installed BL3.4 to my aged thinkpad, but cannot get X working.

According to W95 I have a :
        Chips & Tech Accelerator
        Chiptype F65545 Rev 2
        DAC type ATT or clone
        Memory 1 Meg. 
Standard VGA 640x480

I have googled the list archives but come up only with the understanding that 
Chips & Tech graphic chips are chancy with BL. Does anyone know whether this 
one might work, and if so how?

xinit--help --> "xinit: No such file or Directory (errno2): no server "X" in 
PATH"
 - and it's right!: No "X" entry exists in /usr/X11R6/bin
  another message appears after a pause:
"X11TransSocketUNIXConnect: Can't connect: errno=111 giving up.

I have also tried (and failed) to use the no-vesa add-on.

My knowledge of X is rudimentary: so I must ask helpful people to be patient 
with
me.
