XF86CONFIGuring?

Is it maybe not recognizing my video card at all?

What is your "lspci" output?

00:0a.0 VGA Compatible controller : ATI Technologies Inc 3D rage II+ 215GTB {MACH64 GTB}
00:0d.0 VGA Compatible controller : s3 Inc. 86c775/86c785 {Trio 65V2/DX or /GX}

I assumed this was all you needed..

Yeah. So ok.... it's picking up on it.

Now when you ran "xf86config" and you got to the video card section, did you type "yes" when it asked "Do you want to look at the card database?"? If so, did you pick card number 60? If you didn't, you might want to do so now (remembering to fill in your own sync and refresh rates as we established above).

Duh!! Why was I picking a different card.. Hmm.. There it is.. Welp.. That makes a big difference.. Now I am getting a different kind of error.

GNOME-SESSION: Error while loading shared libraries: libORBitCosNaming-2.so.0: cannot open shared object file: no such file or directory.

But it actually got a bit farther.. I believe the monitor/video card problem might be gone..

:whimpers:

But... that's unfair!!!

From another thread on here (http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...threadid=55466):

2. I then did an 'upgradepkg --install-new */*.tgz'

I did this from the

/pub/slackware/Slackware-9.0/slackware

directory, as all the packages are one directory level down in the disk structure.

Why don't you do that (i.e. "upgradepkg --install-new */*.tgz") from the appropriate directory on your Slack CD? To get there type "mount /mnt/cdrom" and then "cd mnt/cdrom/slackware" and run that command. All this after you have rebooted of course, and checked if that didn't help. So, reboot, run startx. If it doesn't work, run the above command, reboot, and run startx again.

WOW! Looks nice... I can't believe I made it! Yee-haw!

Thanks again!! I guess I was also missing a package..

Good going man!

All that there's left for me to say is: HAPPY SLACKING!

Ok.. I am now replying from within 'mozilla' on my slackware box.. Sitting in the GNOME desktop.. I am impressed... And working through the hardware issues was worth it..

zsejk · 08-25-2003, 12:12 AM

That's so cool!

I remember when I first got through all my glitches and issues and got to run GNOME and Mozilla and everything else properly... couldn't quite figure out what to do next. So... happy browsing to you!

-zsejk, who is reasonably happy you didn't have any PPP issues...
