Hey,
Two days ago I apt-got the latest (woody) version of XFree86:
XFree86 Version 4.1.0.1 / X Window System
(protocol Version 11, revision 0, vendor release 6510)
I can now no longer run X. When I try to kick off xdm or startx I get the following
message:
<snip - the output is large and I will forward it to people on request>
(II) Setting vga for screen 0.
(EE) VGA(0): Driver can't support depth 24
(II) UnloadModule: "vga"
(EE) Screen(s) found, but none have a usable configuration.
Fatal server error:
no screens found
Now the odd thing is that (a) my XFree86Config file has not changed at all, and (b) my
default colour depth is 16 bit. Below is a copy of my relevant definitions in
/etc/X11/XFree86Config:
Section "Module"
Load "dbe" # Double buffer extension
SubSection "extmod"
Option "omit xfree86-dga" # don't initialise the DGA extension
