[XFree86] cannot find screen

Thu, 31 Jul 2003 07:49:34 -0700 

To Whom it May Concern,
 I am using VMware on a machine and have installed Linux RedHat 8.0 on the VM but I am 
unable to get it to run in anything but text mode. I have followed all instructions 
for the installation of the VMware but I cannot get my X config to run, I am told my 
config file is incomplete "Device section "SVGA" must have a Driver line" and then 
"Fatal server error: no screens found". Attached are the log file and the config file. 
Thank you for your time and any help you can offer.
 Sincerely,
