XFree86 clocks error

MACSRULE · 04-05-2004, 11:51 PM

i am using debian trying to get XFree86 to start, but it gives me these two error messages:

Quote:

Failed to disable interrupts during clock probe

and

Quote:

Fatal server error:
must specify a clocks line in the XF86Config file

what do these mean and how can i fix them?

I think it's talking about the dotclock. Do you have any modelines in your /etc/X11/XF86Config-4? If so, post them.

i found a section that said something about clocks.

Quote:

section "Device
Identifier "ATI Radeon Mobility M6"
clocks
Driver "VGA"
Bus ID "PCI:0:16:0"
VideoRam "16000
End section

Yeah I read in the manpage that you have to specify a clock value in MHz (as a floating point) of your card. You'll have to look that up. Try commenting out the line altogether. Maybe it's freaking out because you've specified the clock option without a value.
