hi This machine was being used by someone else and he was running Xwindows. So i feel the hardware configuration is supported.
I am not getting any error messages in log.err as per the command u gave. Incase i make log.err the stdout the i get the same messages as i told you in it. The only diff being below is Adding Extended Input Device "Configured Mouse" (type :MOUSE) ^M (<-----This is extra) is it some signal is being sent. waiting for X Server to shut down ^M Does this help...
