XFree86
Have been using Mandrake for 4 1/2 yrs, since 6 Apr 03, have been happy with 9.1
Decided it's time to blow off windoze & take the 20 gigs. Upgraded my motherboard Asus A7V8X-X with Nvida GenForce4, Athlon XP +2500, burned off the 3 cds for 9.2 - reformatted the drive installed 9.2 said it did not install Free86-server-4.3.23mdk.i586, so I reinstalled it - up came the wizard screen for kde, LOCKED, had to ctrl-alt-bksp, ended up into a terminal window, startx gave me error messages. Short form: (EE) Failed to load module :bitmap" (module does not exist, 0) (EE) Failed to load module "pcidata" (module does not exist, 0) Fatal server error So I reloaded dependable 9.1 WRONG, Error messages on it also, so I did an upgrade for 9.2, it brought me to the same error messages. I really need my computer back, can anyone suggest a course I can go on that will put me back in the drivers seat, I miss my computer, now that I have all the extra space - maybe TIA |
Commish,
I grabbed the text 'pcidata' from your post and ran a google search on it. Found a lot of similar experiences.... Here's one that's also in english: http://www.mail-archive.com/psyche-l.../msg18586.html I recommend you research some of the discussions you'll find in Google about this. Additionally, here's a quick cut-n-paste from another post I made about troubleshooting X startup problems that are based on video card issues.... Quote:
