RE: [XFree86] Cannot start anything other than Twm session
The warning seen by ypu is not related to your error. The ATI graphics chipset you are using does always expose an uncritical secondary device in the logs. I currently dont have the full report present here but if one windowmanager launches and an other does not launch then the problem is not at the driver detection level. You might retry using an XF86 config that disables DRI and other accelleration for testing. -Alex. -Original Message- From: DBW [SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, December 18, 2003 10:46 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject:Re: [XFree86] Cannot start anything other than Twm session I think I have worked out what the problem is.
