Hello Brian,
i was on holidays, so some time went by until my answer.
I tried the Alpha4 Kubuntu today. I started the system from CD in the
live mode. The software was not able to find a correct video mode for
the grapics card and finally showed a text console after some attempts
to initialize the graphics card.
I tried to start the xserver from the textconsole with startx and got
the following error messages:
(EE) R128(0): No DFP detected
(EE) R128(0): (Ron = 12288) + (Rloop = 17) >= (Roff = 10752)
Fatal server error:
AddScreen/ScreenInit failed for driver 0
giving up.
As a test i used the /etc/X11/xorg.conf.failsafe instead of the
xorg.conf. In this way the xserver was able to start.
(Meanwhile I installed Kubuntu 8.04 on this system. I also had to modify
the xorg.conf to specify a reasonable resolution to get the Xserver
running.)
nice greetings
Gerald
