AddScreen/ScreenInit failed for driver 0
When I type 'startx', I get the error 'AddScreen/ScreenInit failed for driver 0.' I have searched this board and other boards and a bunch of websites and ran xf86config until I can do it by heart and I can't seem to find anything that works. I know X works on my computer because I used it woth Mandrake 8.0 before. If you need to see my XF86Config file and XFree86.0.log you can find them here. Please help!
:confused: |
Also, it doesn't seem like there are any errors, but it says it can't use any default modes due to insufficient memory. What does that mean? Do I need to enter a higher memory number in xf86config?

Anyone? :(

I have the same problems running Slackware 8 with an Intel graphics card and an HP v70 monitor. I have tried lowering the color depth (you should try that if you havent), which did not work. I have tried different configurations from xfree86setup, xf86config etc, to no avail. I look in mailing list archives and find the same questions EVERYWHERE but with no responses (or responses arent helpful).
:Pengy: log shows fine until the screeninit failure. has ANYBODY gotten x to work after theyve had this error? ANYONE??? |
hey wynd do you have an i810 graphics card? ive looked around and found quite a few people (i too have an i810) that are experiencing problems with this.

i had a similar problem when I upgraded from Redhat7.3 to Redhat8
I changed the Video Ram from 1024 to 2048 in the XF86Config file |
