In any case, Redhat 8.0 is very old and you should consider at least trying Redhat 9.0 or one of the latest Fedora Core releases.

It's going to the console from the GUI that requires CTRL-ALT-F#. It is likely that Redhat uses standard VESA modes when installing, so that is why the GUI worked then.

More than likely, you have a graphics card from after this date and so you'll want something newer like 4.4.0 or 4.5.0 (or maybe even the new Xorg distribution). Trying to use a version of Xfree86 that was released prior to the release of your graphics card makes it highly unlikely that you will receive satisfactory results. Please consider using a newer version. Fatal server error: XFree86 has found a valid card configuration. Unfortunately the appropriate data has not been added to xf86PciInfo.h. Please forward 'scanpci -v' output to XFree86 support team. I'm pretty sure that this means that XFree86 has detected your card, but does not have enough information about it. So, you'll need to run scanpci -v from a root prompt (it ends in a pound sign like this - # ) and send along the results. Then the appropriate information can be added to the distribution so that XFree86 will know about your card. However, since this version is so old, it's possible that said information has already been added to the distribution, and so using a newer version would provide better results.

The point is that I would like to make as few changes as possible (preferrebly none) to the kernel and the whole environment. The whole story started as I wanted to make a series of tests to my running Linux server. Because some o them might be destructive, I decided to clone the server to another machine, with different hardware (I don't have a second identical computer). Cloning was done by backup of the server and restore to the new machine. After restore X server didn't start in the new environment. As the X server appeared to be pre-release, 4.1.0.1 december, 2001 (not supported) I decided to install a new version of X. So now the question is wether it is possible to start X (necessary to run the tests) making the smallest changes possible. Maybe another version of X will work? I was going to suggest trying to get a copy of the kernel source of the kernel that you're running and build a agpgart.o module, but it looks like you're running 2.2.17, which is pretty ancient. It may work, though if you get a copy of the kernel source for 2.2.17 and configure it to build agpgart support and then build it but only copy out the agpgart.o module. One problem /might/ be that it looks like your build kernel (2.4.x) is pretty significantly different from your running kernel (2.2.x). It might be that XFree86 configured itself for features present on a 2.4 kernel and is now confused by the difference of the 2.2 kernel. Maybe if you rebuild on 2.2.17? And install a agpgart.o module? This sounds like a crazy project, but I understand that it's sometimes necessary and I hope it works out well for you. -Andy ___ XFree86 mailing list XFree86@XFree86.Org http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xfree86

While Marlena's suggestion will work as well, you may have an easier time finding the version if you do: startx -- -version or X -version HTH. -Andy ___ XFree86 mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xfree86
Re: [XFree86] (no subject)
Cannot establish any listening sockets - Make sure an X server isn't already running It sounds like X is starting. Are you starting it with 'startx' or is it just starting when you boot? What happens if you ctrl-alt-bkspc when you switch to the hourglass screen? -Andy ___ XFree86 mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xfree86
Re: [XFree86] Blank LCD display
Just a shot in the dark, but maybe try changing: SubSection Display Depth 16 Modes 640x480-85 640x480-75 640x480-72 640x480-60 EndSubsection to SubSection Display Depth 16 Modes 640x480-60 EndSubsection In the first one, it looks like you're trying to drive the LCD at 85Hz, which may just not work. 60Hz is more likely to produce a viewable image. Maybe the LCD panel seems to go to sleep or says Out Of Range? This would probably be because of trying to overdrive it. It could also be that the VertRefresh option overrides the -85 you have in the Mode line, in which case my suggestion is moot.

Re: [XFree86] An Error
Fatal server error: no screens found Try running xf86cfg and/or xf86config as root. You haven't setup your video card and/or monitor yet. Maybe it is newer than that which Red Hat 9 knows about. -Andy ___ XFree86 mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xfree86
Re: [XFree86] Support
when i restart the server , only see the character prompt (before the graphic gnome coming up very weell). I try to startx and xinit , but the only i can see is the message below into the log file. Well, you didn't say what OS you are using; and if it's Linux or BSD, which distribution. In either case, you need to install XFree86 fonts. This will likely be a package made for your distribution. If you installed from source, I would recommend getting every .tgz file available from an XFree mirror and installing all of them, not just the first 3 or 4. When you say gnome coming up very well, it sounds like you mean that GNOME is starting just fine, but you're getting this temporary error message. Hope this helps. -Andy ___ XFree86 mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xfree86
Re: [XFree86] Newbie with graphics problem under VirtualPC2004
is there a way to stop X running and edit the VGA card, without having to re-install from scratch -and learn something in the process :-) ? Generally, X can be stopped by pressing [CTRL]-[ALT]-[BACKSPACE] and you may be dumped to a terminal. I don't know if this is what would happen on VirtualPC, though. If you can get to the XFree86Config file, you can change the Driver line to vesa and your X server should use a VESA driver.

Re: [XFree86] Newbie with graphics problem under VirtualPC2004
If VPC installs a virtual network device, maybe you can telnet or ssh to the Linux installation from Windows (on the same machine)? Other than that, you'll need to find a way to get into it via a text mode, which is kinda outside the scope of this list. I would suggest [CTRL]-[ALT]-[F1]/[F2]/[F3]/[F4]/[F5]/[F6], but maybe that's a Linux-only method. However, setting the driver to vesa should be all that is required to get a working XFree86 setup. Getting into your VPC in text mode is up to you :-/. In the end, it may be easier and faster to reinstall. -Andy ___ XFree86 mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xfree86
