fatal server error no devices detected
 

I run Ubuntu 6.06 Dapper Drake and it has been working perfectly on my desktop for a while now. No hardware changes have been made. My display adapter is an onboard SiS 661FX on "PCI:1:0:0"

It was automatically configured by xserver in /etc/X11/xorg.conf as;
"vesa"
"PCI:1:0:0"

But it still worked perfectly even though it was an SiS.

On booting up yesterday I got a nessage;

FAILED TO START THE XSERVER
IT IS LIKELY IT IS NOT SET UP CORRECTLY
EE NO DEVICES DETECTED
NO SCREENS FOUND

I then just have a command prompt.

If I run
sudo X :1 -scanpci
all pci's are displayed from 0:0:0 to 0:5:0
but no 1:0:0 !!! Is this correct.

I have modified xorg.conf and changed to "ati" "radeon" "vesa" "vga"
"sis" EVERYTHING but still no luck.

I have used "sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver" to reconfigure after every change but still NOTHING !!

Fixed !!
 

It was a faulty xserver update.

I fixed it as follows;

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade

Thanks
