We will modify this configuration in step 3 for CLE graphic chip after the installation. If you choose to "Skip X Configuration", you could configure X after the installation following step 1.2. 1.1.2 Monitor Configuration The installation program will attempt to detect your monitor to determine your machine's best display setting. You may also enter the horizontal and vertical synchonization ranges for your monitor. These value can be found in the documentation for your display. 1.1.3 Custom X Configuration Please choose your login type as "text" because we need post configuration after the installation. 1.2 Configure your hardware device after intalling Linux If you choose to "Skip X Configuration" when install Linux. Please do following step.. 1.2.1 Login as root 1.2.2 Check is there a link point to /usr/X11R6/bin/XFree86 # cd /etc/X11 # ls -l X If there is no link named "X", then do following.. # ln -s /usr/X11R6/bin/XFree86 X Note: If you skip the step of X setup when install Linux, there will be no link named "X" in /etc/X11. 1.2.3 Run "xf86config" to configure your keyboard, mouse and monitor # xf86config The configuration program will create the file "XF86Conifg" in the /etc/X11 directory. If there is the file named "XF86Config-4", please remove or rename it. 1.3 Install driver and utility a. Uncompress this file # tar zxvf CLEXF4000x.tgz(x is version number) b.

Open the terminal console. c. Run utility binary file: # s3utilityDownload Driver Pack
After your driver has been downloaded, follow these simple steps to install it.
Expand the archive file (if the download file is in zip or rar format).
If the expanded file has an .exe extension, double click it and follow the installation instructions.
Otherwise, open Device Manager by right-clicking the Start menu and selecting Device Manager.
Find the device and model you want to update in the device list.
Double-click on it to open the Properties dialog box.
From the Properties dialog box, select the Driver tab.
Click the Update Driver button, then follow the instructions.
Very important: You must reboot your system to ensure that any driver updates have taken effect.
