If this does not make the error go away then you have to reduce your resolution and/or DefaultDepth. I think this error is not the reason for X to fail completely, but your graphics rendering will be significantly faster and use less CPU cycles if you get the DRI (direct rendering infrastructure) going. 2) mouse and touchpad There is a problem with the device node for mouse and touchpad. Try to do "modprobe psmouse" as root and check if you can start X after that. If this does not help then we need the output of these two commands: ls -l /dev/input/by-id awk '/Section "InputDevice"/,/EndSection/' /etc/X11/xorg.conf Another thing to try is to add Option "AllowMouseOpenFail" "true" to the ServerFlags section of your xorg.conf (see "man xorg.conf"). This will at least tell you if it is really the mouse issue that keeps X from starting. -- Regards, | http://users.icfo.es/Florian.Kulzer Florian | -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
