XIO: fatal IO error 04 (connection reset by peer) on X server ":0.0"
hey everyone,
i have an old compaq armada 7800 (6266 series) laptop laying around at my house that i havnt used in a year becausei dont trust runing windows 98 on my network. i do not have a cd rom drive for it, and i cant get into the bois (because the compaq armadas dont use flash but rather a partion a with the config on it which was distoryed before i got the laptop.) to see i i could boot from a USB key. anyways because i dont have a cd-rom drive and this isnt the most beefy system (400mhz P II with 128 mbs SD Ram and 4mbs or on video memory) i decied to install ZipSlack. I was able to install ZipSlack with out any problems as well as download and install all the packages needed for X, but now i am getting this error when i type startx (EE) VGA(0): Driver can't support depth 24 (EE) Screen(s) found, but none have a usable configuration Fatal server error: no screens found Please consult the The X.Org Foundation support at http://wiki.X.Org for help. Please also check the log file at "/var/log/Xorg.0.log" for additional information. XIO: fatal IO error 04 (connection reset by peer) on X server ":0.0" after 0 requests (o known processed) with 0 events remaining. i have tryed using xorgconfig and editing xorg.conf but have had no luck. any help or ideas would be great appreciated! |
Did you try to set the video driver to 'vesa' in xorg.conf ?
Which video card ? /sbin/lspci | grep -i vga |
yes i have tryed vesa and gotten another error

XIO: fatal IO error 04 (connection reset by peer) on X server ":0.0" after 0 requests (o known processed) with 0 events remaining. and i am still somewhat a newbie to linux and am not sure what you are talking about with: "Which video card ? /sbin/lspci | grep -i vga" |
Type :
Code:
/sbin/lspci | grep -i vga |
i get
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: S3 Inc. ViRGE/MX (rev 06) |
Good, there is a X driver for your card
Try 's3virge_drv' as video driver |
with that i get
(EE) Failed to load module "s3virge_drv" (invalid module, 0) (EE) No drivers available |
Ok my bad, try it as : 's3virge'
|
well that seemed to fix that problem now i am getting
