Mandrake 6.0 XServer setup problem.

[Kiran Krishna]

Have you had any luck with being able to actually read those books that came 
with the cd? There are in such small print on my Linux 5.2 cd that I'll have 
to go get new glasses after I finish reading them if I intend to read them. 
That's it. No more Macmillan software.
I am having another problem. My screen keeps dying/flickering every few 
minutes. While this is only a minor irritant at the moment, it could get 
bigger, and I have no Idea what is actually happening. Could someone clear 
my confusion please? Thanks.
                 yours
                      Kiran


"It is silly to seek a basic law, even sillier to find it. Some 
mean-spirited little man decides that the whole course of humanity can be 
explained in terms of insiduously revolving signs of the zodiac or as the 
struggle between an empty and a stuffed belly; he hires a punctilious 
Philistine to act as Clio's clerk, and begins a wholesale trade in epochs 
and masses; and then woe to the private individuum, with his two poor u's, 
halooing hopelessly amid the dense growth of economic causes....."
