Fatal server error: no screens found
yes that ole chestnut.
hi folks, hope someone can help. i have put slackware 11 on an old dell latitude c400 laptop. startx does not start x. it says this instead: Code:
(EE) VESA(0): No matching modes Code:
(--) PCI:*(0:2:0) Intel Corporation 82830 CGC [Chipset Graphics Controller] rev 4, Mem @ 0xe0000000/27, 0xf4f80000/19 Code:
(EE) Failed to load /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers/apm_drv.so X tries to launch. the little X cursor is there in the middle of a black screen. and then nothing else happens forever. i really hope someone knows whats going on. i'm kinda interested myself. thanks in advance. |
ps
ps, i haven't really had much call to play around with the x server so this is quite new to me. one thing i have discovered is that the commands *X* and *startx* do not appear to do the same thing.
entering startx -config xorg.conf.new returns the same as simply entering startx entering X enters the same as entering startx but entering X -config xorg.conf.new at least tries to launch the server anyone help me understand this ? thanks |
