In the archive you will be able to find a few hints (go at it with google) nvidia users wanting to use acceleration have to download one of nvidia drivers (I don't know the details not having one but the subject comes over and over on this list) I assume they have it on their web-site The ATI Xpert 128 pro was also mentionned I believe one must have 4.1 but I am not sure. In any case it would be interesting to see the XF86Config[-4](some distro -RH7.x for instance-give you both 3.3.6 and 4.x.x in such case they also give you two XF86Config the one for 4.x.x being named XF86Config-4) Usually for 4.x.x (I am no expert an must be careful) no screen found means that your XF86Config[-4] has no valid subsection display in the section screen... This can be due to 1. having a default depth and no subsection display with that depth, 2. having mode lines which the combination graphic card / monitor cannot support 3. having a graphic device which does not have a valid driver 4. having some syntax error in the screen section 5. not having any screen section (I hope it should not occur in the configuration...) 6. specifying a non existant screen in the server layout section (should also not occur)
anyhow, the best way to proceed is: 1. to backup the curren XF86Config[-4] 2. run Xconfigurator (some people on this list don't like it, possibly rightly so, I personally did not get into trouble with it) OR run XFree86 -configure (in this case I think a XF86Config.new will be created in the home directory resp. /root if you run it as root and you will have to move it into /etc/X11 and rename it according to the logic used in your distro) 3 try to run X using startx I like to redirect the log and run: startx 2>mylogfile If you still have problems you can then post again with both your XF86Config[-4] and your log Lionel --- Zach Stone <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Yeah, I dunno... > > _________________________________________________________________ > Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at > http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp > > _______________________________________________ > Newbie mailing list > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > *** To unsubscribe , or change message options, see: > http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/newbie __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
