G'Day Gang, Sorry to be such a pain but I don't want this thing to beat me.
The "There is no mode definition named "800x600" " problem was solved with the line "Mode "800x600" " in the Monitor section of XF86Config Now when I boot the system everything seems to go ok. I log in as root at the comand prompt (no graphics) and do a "startx" and I get a message saying that the server is already running on display 0. At this point the command prompt has disappeared and although I can enter text at the bottom of the screen the only way I am able to get out of it is by Ctr+Alt+Del. I did a interactive startup and said no to start wine and this seemed not to start the server and when I did a startx I got the following info before it just sat there without the command prompt as before. Quote: Configured Drivers: S3: accelerated server for S3 Graphics adaptors (Patch level 0) newmmio, mmio_928, s3-generic (using VT number 7) XF86Config : /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/XF86Config (**) XKB : keycodes : "xfree86" (**) XKB : Types : default (**) XKB : compat : default (**) XKB : symbols : "us(pc101)" (**) XKB : Geometry : "pc" (**) XKB : rules : "xfree86" (**) XKB : model : "pc101" (**) XKB : layout : "us" (**) mouse : type : ps/2, device: /dev/mouse, 3 buttons (**) mouse : 3 button emulation (timeout : 50 ms) End Quote And that is as far as it goes. I have to Ctr+Alt+Del to get out of it. Can anyone see any glaring problems there??
