[Xpert]X Windows System problem for RedHat 8.0 on IBM Thinkpad R32 onWindows-hosted vmware

[Kuang-Ching Wang]

Hi,   I am installing redhat 8.0 on my IBM thinkpad laptop R32.  XFree86 fails to start after installatoin complaining about "No screens found."  Is it something specific to the way I configure my laptop LCD display, or is it about VMware?.  Below I attach the XF86Config contents and the crash log.  Thanks much for the experts!   KC --------------- XF86Config --------------- # File generated by anaconda.   Section "ServerLayout"         Identifier     "Anaconda Configured"         Screen      0  "Screen0" 0 0         InputDevice    "Mouse0" "CorePointer"  InputDevice "Mouse1" "SendCoreEvents"         InputDevice    "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard" EndSection   Section "Files"   # The location of the RGB database.  Note, this is the name of the # file minus the extension (like ".txt" or ".db").  There is normally # no need to change the default.       RgbPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/rgb"   # Multiple FontPath entries are allowed (they are concatenated together) # By default, Red Hat 6.0 and later now use a font server independent of # the X server to render fonts.       FontPath   "unix/:7100"   EndSection   Section "Module"         Load  "dbe"         Load  "extmod"  Load  "fbdevhw"  Load  "dri"         Load  "glx"         Load  "record"         Load  "freetype"         Load  "type1" EndSection   Section "InputDevice"         Identifier  "Keyboard0"         Driver      "keyboard"   # Option "AutoRepeat" "500 5"   # when using XQUEUE, comment out the above line, and uncomment the # following line # Option "Protocol" "Xqueue"   # Specify which keyboard LEDs can be user-controlled (eg, with xset(1)) # Option "Xleds"  "1 2 3"   # To disable the XKEYBOARD extension, uncomment XkbDisable. # Option "XkbDisable"   # To customise the XKB settings to suit your keyboard, modify the # lines below (which are the defaults).  For example, for a non-U.S. # keyboard, you will probably want to use: # Option "XkbModel" "pc102" # If you have a US Microsoft Natural keyboard, you can use: # Option "XkbModel" "microsoft" # # Then to change the language, change the Layout setting. # For example, a german layout can be obtained with: # Option "XkbLayout" "de" # or: # Option "XkbLayout" "de" # Option "XkbVariant" "nodeadkeys" # # If you'd like to switch the positions of your capslock and # control keys, use: # Option "XkbOptions" "ctrl:swapcaps"  Option "XkbRules" "xfree86"  Option "XkbModel" "pc105"  Option "XkbLayout" "us"  #Option "XkbVariant" ""  #Option "XkbOptions" "" EndSection   Section "InputDevice"         Identifier  "Mouse0"         Driver      "mouse"         Option      "Protocol" "PS/2"         Option      "Device" "/dev/psaux"         Option      "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"         Option      "Emulate3Buttons" "yes" EndSection   Section "InputDevice"  Identifier "Mouse1"  Driver  "mouse"  Option  "Device"  "/dev/input/mice"  Option  "Protocol"  "IMPS/2"  Option  "Emulate3Buttons" "no"  Option  "ZAxisMapping"  "4 5" EndSection   Section "Monitor"         Identifier   "Monitor0"         VendorName   "Monitor Vendor"         ModelName    "Monitor Model"         HorizSync   31.5-48.5         VertRefresh 40-70         Option "dpms"     EndSection   Section "Device"  # no known options  Identifier   "ATI Radeon Mobility M6"         Driver       "radeon"         VendorName   "ATI Radeon Mobility M6"         BoardName     "ATI Radeon Mobility M6"                 #BusID EndSection   Section "Screen"  Identifier   "Screen0"         Device       "ATI Radeon Mobility M6"         Monitor      "Monitor0"  DefaultDepth 16    Subsection "Display"          Depth       16                 Modes       "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"  EndSubsection   EndSection   Section "DRI"  Mode 0666 EndSection --------------- crash log XFree86.0.log ---------------   XFree86 Version 4.2.0 (Red Hat Linux release: 4.2.0-72) / X Window System (protocol Version 11, revision 0, vendor release 6600) Release Date: 23 January 2002  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/) Build Operating System: Linux 2.4.18-11smp i686 [ELF] Build Host: daffy.perf.redhat.com   Module Loader present OS Kernel: Linux version 2.4.18-14 ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) (gcc version 3.2 20020903 (Red Hat Linux 8.0 3.2-7)) #1 Wed Sep 4 13:35:50 EDT 2002 Markers: (--) probed, (**) from config file, (==) default setting,          (++) from command line, (!!) notice, (II) informational,          (WW) warning, (EE) error, (NI) not implemented, (??) unknown.
