Re: [mu SETUP] Newbie question: Mono X-Server?

The (attached) log shows that it is trying to start up
X with a VGA setting. I don't have a VGA card so it
just goes to a blank screen. Is there any way to force
it to try a MONO or hercules setting or do I need a
separate Mono X Server binary?

Thanks,
Robert
