Re: [XFree86] no screen error
Glad to somebody found my message, excuse me for being such a noob and asking such silly questions, I'm afraid I've been spoon fed by microsoft and apple for a couple decades now, so it's taking me a while to get my thinking cap on. and I'm afraid the latest answers only leave me with more questions.

OK so apparently I need another driver, I got the windows driver off the Elsa site, should I go back and look for a linux driver for this model and serial number? and if so, where would I put that file? -since I'm trying to install linux on a blank disk? > >The whole server output is at /var/log/XFree86.0.log > ...right, so how do I access that from a dollar sign prompt? ___ XFree86 mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xfree86
Re: [XFree86] no screen error
Elsa's GLoria line spans many generations and different chip vendors. Which driver to use depends on which specific model you have. The VGA driver, which you are currently using, is for plain VGA mode (depth 4 @ 640x480). The whole server output is at /var/log/XFree86.0.log Mark.

[XFree86] no screen error
Hi, I have an older, (late 90's vintage Pentium Pro) computer that I am hoping to convert to run MSC linux, for which I have a set of V2001 CD's. I am booting off their distribution CD with a essentially blank, NTFS formatted secondary 18G Hard disk where I wanted to install the OS and apps. In attepting the installation I get these last two "server" errors- (EE) VGA(0): Driver Can't support depth 24 and (EE) Screen(s) found, but none have a usable configuration. followed by; Fatal Server Error: no screens found. This machine has an Elsa Gloria SVGA graphics card but I don't know how linux is supposed to recognize that? Is it something I should go and manually edit on the pre-boot system config screen? I know it tells me I should be reporting the whole server output instead of just the end of the message, but I don't know linux command line stuff well enough to accress the file you point me to. The last error message I see is this; XIO: fatal error 104 (Connection reset by peer) on X server ":0.0" after 0 requests (0 known processed) with 0 events remaining then I get a "Welcome to MSC.Linux 2001" header followed by a direction to login as root, where I find myself staring at a blinking dollar sign prompt, just like my old days on the VAX-80, but I can't seem to tell it to do anything beyond that. by the way- the kernal number is 2.4.6-1.msc-smp Any suggestions on where to look or what to try to fix this up? Thanks

Upgrade to something more recent like 4.2.0 or newer. If you want to use a digital flat panel you should upgrade to a very recent snapshot like 4.2.99.4.

[XFree86] No Screen Error
I'm getting a No Screen (see attached file) error when I try to use StartX with Redhat Linux 7.0. Could this be a problem with my graphic card settings? The card is an AGP 32MB Elsa Gladiac MX.
