Folks, Thanks for the tips, but so far still no joy.
Regarding posting all the messages, I can't even read them all. As the messages start to scroll up, the display blinks (trying to go into graphics mode, I suspect,) then comes back to text. Most of the (**) messages run past during this blank-out time. How can I capture these messages into a file so that I may be able to see what's going on? I've tried looking in /var/log to see if anythere seems related, but haven't found anything. I think what I want to do is redirect stderr into a file, but I'm new to linux and don't know how to make that happen. -----Original Message----- From: Kent West <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Jesse Evans <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; Debian User Mail List <debian-user@lists.debian.org> Date: Thursday, October 22, 1998 7:54 AM Subject: Re: need help getting X server running... >At 09:06 PM 10/21/1998 -0700, Jesse Evans wrote: >> >> Folks, >> >> >> >> (a long list of messages which scroll up the screen, followed by...) >> >> *** none of the configured devices were detected *** >> Fatal server error: no screens found >> - X11 TransSocketUNIXConnect: Can't connect: errno = 111 >> giving up. >> >> xinit: connection refused (errno 111) unable to connect to xserver >> xinit: no such process (errno 3): server error >> >> I'm running on a 133Mhz Intel PC with a Trident 9440 graphics chip.
