when i run startx i get the following message

no mode definition 1024*7xx

i guess this is s a display/ screen config prob.
any ideas ???????

Look for the file XF86Config or XF86Config-4 under the directory /etc/X11/ and post the contents of it here.

wont fit on page ?? mail me ??
or what sections do you want
broomehilde@hotmail.com

Post the relevant sections, the sections pertaining to Screen would come to mind, and maybe graphics card.

Or, you can upload the file to my ftp and post a link here

ftp://masterc.no-ip.org and here is a username and pass:

USER: CCSpoon
PASS: s2000

It's not always up, but I will leave it up for a couple days so people can see your file.

The link should look something like:
ftp://CCSpoon:s2000@masterc.no-ip.org/XF86Config-4 (If you click this, and there is no file XF86Config-4 (which currently there isn't), then it will return an error, so edit that portion)

alas no ftp
heres some sections
