We encountered a problem while starting Xwindows. We have a inbuilt VGA card (Details given below).
Savage Pro 3D Graphic Acceleration



XFree86 Version 4.0.3 / X Window System

(protocol Version 11, revision 0, vendor release 6400)

Release Date: 16 March 2001

If the server is older than 6-12 months, or if your card is

newer than the above date, look for a newer version before

reporting problems. (See http://www.XFree86.Org/FAQ)

Please note the date of release, 16 March 2001, and the above message. Your X server is a pretty ancient release, and won't support all the hardware of the newer ones.


(II) SAVAGE: driver (version 1.1.15) for S3 Savage chipsets: Savage4,

Savage3D, Savage3D-MV, Savage2000, Savage/MX-MV, Savage/MX,

Savage/IX-MV, Savage/IX, ProSavage PM133, ProSavage KM133, Twister,

TwisterK

(II) Primary Device is: PCI 01:00:0

(--) Assigning device section with no busID to primary device

(EE) No devices detected.

Fatal server error:

no screens found

Looks like your X server doesn't suport that particular card. Try upgrading to a newer XFree86 release - say, 4.3.0 , and see how you go. You might want to check out the supported chipset lists too.

In this case, I don't see a Savage Pro in either - so either it's a weird and rare card that isn't supported at all (in which case try out the 'vesa' driver) or it's actually just another Savage type, but renamed.
