Xstart problem
First i will say that i am a newbie in Linux. I have installed Slackware 10. But now i can't start startx. I get an error:
Fatal server error: No screens found I have a Ati Radeon 9600 Pro. And when i look on my screen settings they say H:-48.4KHz V-60Hz I did run xorgconfig and did setup everything but i keep getting the error shown above. I have also triedthe xorgsetup but still i get the same error. So now my question how can i solve this problem? |
I'm also the owner of an ATI Radeon.
Post up your /etc/X11/xorg.conf and we'll see if we can't hack some sense into it ;) --Shade |
Ok but my problem is how do i get the text of that file or at least the text here. Ok i can type it completely here but that takes some time. Or is there an other and easyer way to do it?

is it dual boot machine? Do you have a fat32 (windows) partition? Flash card reader or a Floppy?
you could copy the file to a "Windows-readable" media and post some of it here. 1. Mount the media (for floppy do "mount /mnt/floppy") 2. Copy the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file to media. (for floppy "cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /mnt/floppy") 3. Transfer to other computer, post. BONUS POINT: try "mc" in console. (It gives you "Norton Commander" look-alike) May be easier to get around system without X. |
I don't have a dual boot system but with your help i have copied it to a floppy and now here it is.

Ouch!
this is one problem: VertRefresh 50.0 - 0.0 It should be range like 50 - 160 (For my KDS monitor) This is another: Driver "nv" VendorName "nVidia Corporation" BoardName "NV10 [GeForce 256 SDR]" BusID "PCI:1:0:0" You said you have a Radeon. what gives? try any one of these xorgcfg xorgconfig xorgsetup or config your /etc/xorg.conf by hand |
ok i did run it again. And still doesn't the startx work. So here is my xorg.conf file again. I have removed all the rules with the # in front of it otherwise it would be a bit very big.
