Slack 11.0 Install: Fatal Error 104: No Screens
I have tried installing Slackware 11.0 about 5 times with 3 different kernels. Not that I am having fun, but I am just trying to figure out what the problem is. I cannot get the monitor to work, having input all the pertinent information into xorgconfig. The following is a portion of the Xlog:
(II) LoadModule: "i810" It is may be a driver problem, but, I need help here. bb Computer Info: Dell Dimension 4600; Pentium 4 2.6 GHz; NVidia GeForce4 MX440 AGP8x; 1.2 Gb RAM;Dell E171FPb Flat Screen Monitor |
Try 'xorgsetup', it's a bit easier to use, and maybe a bit better.

TeX Mex:
I not only used xorgsetup, but I also checked the xorg.conf file, and the configs I entered in xorgsetup were there. The monitor manual presets are below. Sorry about the vertical presentation. Preset Display Modes This may be more inforamtion that asked, but, it's all there. Thanks for the suggestions. bb |
So it doesn't even work with the vesa driver ? ... if not, then I'm not sure how to make it work.
|
ok. How do I tell if there is a VESA driver? Would it be referenced in xorg.conf? I'm ignorant of these things.
Thanks, bb |
Yes, it would be:
Code:
Section "Device" |
try VESA the easy way..
Code:
#mv /etc/xorg.conf /etc/myxorg.conf this sounds more like a xorg.conf or iXXX chipset problem than a monitor problem. usually monitor problems dont exit so cleanly.. at least in my experience :D ++you could post a bit more info (which intel chipset? lspci -v ) |
TexMex & bioe007:
It is as you suggested. In xorg.conf the driver in the Device Section is "vga". I did as bioe007 said, and a monitor said on a black backgoujd, "Cannot Display This Video Mode". So, I changed the default color depth from 24 bits to 18 bits. Slackware and KDE work just fine. I appreciate the help. Have a good one! bb |
gotta learn to type and use spell check!
