You should have a XFree86 binary installed somewhere (/usr/X11R6/bin

Thanks.
I've no binary called XFree86. When executing XF86_SVGA, that's the
server I want to use, then I get a blank screen and the system hangs. I
cannot switch terminals after that. The keyboard doesn't react at all
anymore. Before the system goes haywire it prints some messages on the
screen. They seem normal so far but they go so quickly that I cannot
capture anything....
Sorry, that XF86_SVGA of course (XFree86 is the name of the executable
for version 4.0+).
You need to get the output to understand what happens. Try to start:
XF86_SVGA > log 2>&1 (or XF86_SVGA >& log with *csh shells).

Hi
when running XF86_SVGA I get the following messages:
XFree86 Version 3.3.6 / X Window System

There are some more messages which I'm not able to capture. Logging to a
file didn't work. After restarting the file's empty...
Even after changing the hsync and vsync range to something big enough
(which actually is out of spec) it still doesn't come up and hangs with
a blank screen.
XFree86 4.2.0 runs fine. Is there any way I can copy configs from 4.2.0
to 3.3.6 to make it run?
Thx
Stefan
