I switched my video card from an ATI Xpert98 (8Mb PCI) to an Xpert2000
(32Mb AGP). Prior to this, Mandrake 8.0 was running fine. Now Xwindows
won't start.
First I get an error message during the GUI bootup at the point of
running harddrake: "Checking for new hardware: Failed to open
terminal."
Then MDK tries to open Xwindows, fails, and defaults to the command
liner interface. The Xlog file ends:
(II) Primary Device is: PCI 01:00:0
(--) Assigning device section with no busID to primary device
(EE) No devices detected.
I have interchangeable hard disk drives for different OSs and
databases, so I can report that the system runs fine under WindowsME.
It's not the hardware; it's Mandrake 8.0.
Good suggestions are appreciated. Thanks.
