Instead of "XFree86Config -configure" I ran the "xf86config". I did not choose a specific Video-chipset/driver from the list. After that I took a look into the XFree86Config-file and there it said "Generic VGA". When I then ran "startx" I got (among other things): --- Fatal server error: AddScreen/ScreenInit failed for driver 0 When reporting a problem related to a server crash, please send the full server output, not just the last messages. This can be found in the log file "/var/log/XFree86.0.log". Please report problems to [EMAIL PROTECTED] --- I tried to change to "SVGA" but I kept on ketting a message that said something about "Could not load module SVGA". I will go home in about 10 hours and then I will try your tip about the VESA. I shall also get some information about the details of that DamnedConfig-file.
