Hi, Any help is greatly appreciated. As such it has been so frustating to install and configure RH 8.0, 9.0, RHEL 2.1, SLES 8.0 and none seem to have the xserver working.
I tried searching over google and bugzilla of redhat and xfree86 too,
but couldnt
find anything. Though i might have missed out some helpfull link, if so please
forward it to me so that i can get this thing going.
For the past couple of weeks i have been trying to get the X server
running. I have
an old IBM Thinkpad - A21P ( 2000 model ).
The win2k professional on this laptop detects the video driver as :
------------------------------------------------
ATI Mobility M3 Display Adapter
Chipset - M3 33 MHz (AGP)
Internal DAC (350MHz)
------------------------------------------------
I have Redhat Linux 9.0 installed on this also.
As per the server crash info am attaching the XFree86.0.log with this email.
Following is my /etc/X11/XFree86 ---
