Everytime I install Linux Mandrake 7.2 on a computer with an ATI card the X
server will not start. It outputs a lot of stuff and finally crashes
stating:
FATAL SERVER ERROR
no screen(s) found
I do not know what to do, or how to proceed. I have emailed the support
persons at Mandrake and they basically told me to run the XF86 setup
again... which I did... numerous times, trying the most conservative video
settings there are... and nothing has worked.
If anyone has ever run across this problem and managed to fix it, I would be
eternally grateful if you would bestow your wisdom on me. The particulars
of my system are below:
AMD-Thunderbird 1 Ghz, 256 MB RAM, 30 GB Maxtor HD (7200 RPM), ASUS AV7
motherboard, ATI Xpert2000 video card with 32 MB memory, SoundBlaster 16
PCI, KDS 19" monitor (VS-190).
This question has been asked before, but no one responded to it. So please
forgive my posting it again but I would really really appreciate some help.
I am very new at Linux/unix stuff and I have tried everything I can think of
to get the X server working but to no avail.
Thanks...
Patrick
