And here is the error I get:

Radeon (0): No valid mode found for this DFP/LCD

Screen(s) found, but none have a usable configuration

Can someone tell me how to correct these errors so I can actually start X?!!?!?

try to run XFree86 -configure and see if you can run X with that configuration and then edit it to your needs.

I got errors like that with my Radeon.. which I sorted at installation by setting my monitor to 1024x768 @ 60Hz and my vid card (Radeon, like yours) to 1024x768 @ 24bits... this is in Mandrake, I should add. But in any case, it sorted it for me to alter the monitor conifgs.

HTH.

UnTamed · 06-09-2003, 07:03 PM

yep... change DefaultColorDepth 16 to DefaultColorDepth 24
if you wanna get 1024x768 change
Subsection "Display"
Depth 24
Modes "800x600" "640x480"
EndSubsection

...to
Subsection "Display"
Depth 24
Modes "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
EndSubsection

With the right config, the driver should pick the right modeline for the selected reso, just make sure, this
HorizSync 30-70
VertRefresh 50-120
...is accurate.

...you may also wanna try Option "AGPMode" "4"

Hope that's what you meant
