Thanks for your prompt reply. I had already checked my xorg.conf file
before replying to make sure that I had the generic video card. With
Feisty on my desktop, I had all sorts of trouble with it giving a blank
screen when I was trying to get Beryl going. On my Asus F3J Notebook,
the device section is:
Section "Device"
Identifier "Generic Video Card"
Driver "vesa"
BusID "PCI:1:0:0"
EndSection
When I do a startx, the errors reported are:
(EE) VESA(0): No matching nodes
(EE) Screen(s) found, but none have a usable configuration
Also, before sending my reply I had done several reinstalls using the
alternate CD to make sure that I did not do anything wrong with the
video options and only used the defaults. To try to resolve the problem
also I did an apt-get upgrade, but that made no difference.
Regards
Sam
