xf86config error
i am having a little issue starting x i ran the xf86config setup but i still am unable to startx i got a a fatal server error: no screens found
how can this be corrected if i set the hsync and verts for my monitor correctly from the specs in the manual and the video card i have is sis 6326 8mb which number 498 from the vendor list i noticed something though i created a user but when i run startx it hangs but as root it gives me the error right away. --enk0d |
Got a backup?
I've had the same problem a few times trying to get my monitor settings correct. But kept a backup that I could revert too when things didn't go right. If you don't have a backup of the xf86config file then you will have to use vi from the console to edit it. The file is in /etc/X11/xf86config from memory. The no screens error sounds like your have stuffed up one of your monitor settings. |
Well what about the hanging under a regualr user account running the startx command why is that happening though.
I use the specs from the samsung manual i don't see why it wouldn't work Any other suggestions |
i noticed that in my xf86config file the vertrefresh section only has;
Code:
VertRefresh (null) |
umm yeh. :p
meh im a beginner but I would assume that not having root access is why your regular account just hangs. |

If you have frequency specs from the vendor, I suggest reading through two docs in the /usr/doc/Linux-HOWTOs directory. (If you don't have this installed, you can find them by going to:
http://www.linux.org/docs/ldp/howto/...EX/howtos.html The docs are XFree86-HOWTO and Xfree86-Video-Timings-HOWTO. |
