More data.
I've done the
XFree86 -configure
and have a file called XF86Config.new (contents below).
On my QNX box, XF86Config.new resides in my /root directory.
After running XFree86 -configure, it tells me to test the configuration
by running:
XFree86 -xf86config /root/XF86Config.new
I do, and I get an X-windows session (I think) but no icons to click.
Just the mouse pointer to move around....
If I try "startx", I get the error I wrote about initially -
no screens found.
Any more help out there?
Thanks,
Jim

Dead giveaway ;)
[mharris: perhaps this is another of those cases where the X server can
try to fix a few things and -- if they work -- give a good diagnostics
message or -- if they don't -- at least tell us where it tried to look for
the file? The pie in the sky goal would of course be to make it work
/without/ a configuration file unless the hardware was really strange...]
Ok, you have no configuration file. Do you have a sample file you can
modify? Have you read http://www.xfree86.org/4.2.0/XF86Config.5.html ?
(should be the same as man 5 XF86Config but one never knows)
What hardware do you have?
You can also try:
XFree86 -configure
which should generate a configuration file for you (which might work
straight away or might need some further hand tuning).
