Re: [XFree86] No screens found.
You need to send the XFree86.0.log file (look in /var/log) and your /etc/X11/XF86Config file Balencourt , Michel wrote: Hi, I have a problem with starting my graphic interface on my Linux station. I already tried to install a newer version of Xfree86, and updated my graphic driver (RadeOn 9100) that I found on the ATI website. Once I did the update, and tried to open with startx, it tries to start, I see a grey screen, with a black little cross (une croix), then it goes back to a black screen, I hear my screen that mades some refreshes, but it does this in a loop, and so I cannot even retrieve the text mode. Can you help?

[XFree86] SOLUTION: ATI: no screens available RedHat 9.00 (and other problems)
Hi All, There have been a lot of questions about an issue with the new XFree86 that comes with RedHat 9.0. Specifically, the driver ignores the modeline and eithe (a) can't find a working screen (ATI) or (b) can't drive a non-standard resolution. Other symptoms are that the Modelines set in XFree86Config are being ignored. This issue is in bugzilla and it's marked as resolved. I had the same problem but was able to find a work around. Here's what I did. 1 - Go to http://www.xfree86.org/~alanh/drivers/ and get the drivers specific for your configuration and the XFree86 binary. In my case, with an ATI card, I downloaded the following files: XFree86 ati_drv.o atimisc_drv.o r128_drv.o (These might all not be necessary). 2. Go to /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers and replace the existing drivers with the ones you just downloaded. You should save the old ones, probably. 3. Go to /usr/X11R6/bin and replace the copy of XFree86 you find there with the one you just downloaded. 4. Reboot your machine. In my case, I needed to power down and back up. That should do it. As soon as my machine came back up it was working perfectly. The fonts look better too. Let me know if you have any questions and I'll try to help out.

Re: [XFree86] SOLUTION: ATI: no screens available RedHat 9.00 (an d other problems)
Hi Solomon, Who's to say? Those drivers are built each night from cvs. So if you check bugzilla ( http://bugs.xfree86.org/query.cgi ) for your problem, find it, and it's marked RESOLVED, and the problem was with the driver, then it could help. What kind of card is it and what message are you getting? My ATI Mobility 4 is working with hardware acceleration. Paul would this also resolve hardware acceleration issues or only for missing screens? I have redHat 9, and have been unable to get my 3d card to do any sort of acceleration. thanks, sol ___ XFree86 mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xfree86 ___ XFree86 mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xfree86
[XFree86] Probably Lost Window Manager [was SOLUTION: ATI: no screens available RedHat 9.00 (and d other problems)]
Solomon -- I'm looking back at your original post and it looks like you probably overwrote some Gnome (or KDE) configuration files. It sounds like when you start your machine you're loading twm (see if you've got a process that ends in wm -- it's the window manager). You need to configure your system to start another window manager. That's beyond the scope of this document but I'l lhelp you if you AIM me. kalarmd is probably KDE Alarm Clock Daemon Paul Solomon I.

What kind of card is it and what message are you getting? My ATI Mobility 4 is working with hardware acceleration. It's an ATI Radeon 7000. Every web page I've seen says this card is supported. The exact problems I'm experiencing were in an eariler post of mine, from a few days ago. There's no error messages. The most annoyinf problem is that when I re-installed X, I somehow overwrote some important configuration files,but I've not sure which ones or how to restore them. It is affecting my login screen, it looks like crap. Another unusual bug has to do with the fact that ever since I reinstalled X, I have a process known as kalarmd that is running the CPU at max (or close to maximum) load. Not sure what this process is for or why it suddenly decided it needed all those CPU cycles. As far as 3d acceleration, I tried installing DRI, it didn't work (I kept getting segfault erros with glxgears). I went through all the trouble shooting tips, none seem to work. thanks, sol I'll have to try again when I get home tonight ___ XFree86 mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xfree86 ___ XFree86 mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xfree86
