Hey all, I'm a newbie to the list so you'll have to bear with me here. I finally got brave enough to step away from the windoze world and install debian on my laptop. The install went fine, got everything up and running and the apt-get installed the following X programs
xbase-clients, xlibs, xfree86-common, xserver-xfree86, kde... problem is i'm having trouble config'ing my xserver. when i do 'lspci' the last line is 01:00:0 VGA Compatible Controller : S3 Inc. : Unknown Device 8d01 (rev 02) and when i run xfree86 -configure the screen just flickers off, then comes back with this error message " XFree86 has found a valid card configuration. Unfortunately the appropriate data has not been added to xf86PciInfo.h. Please forward 'scanpci -v' output to XFree86 support team. When reporting a problem related to a server crash, please send the full server output, not just the last messages. This can be found in the log file "/var/log/XFree86.0.log". Please report problems to [EMAIL PROTECTED] " The contents of my XF86Config-4 file and XFree86.0.log can be seen on http://www.redbrick.dcu.ie/~cambo/XF86Config-4.txt and http://www.redbrick.dcu.ie/~cambo/XFree86.0.log Much appreciated if someone could tell me what the problem is.. or what i'm doing stupid -- Eoin Campbell ---------------------------- [EMAIL PROTECTED] Helpdesk/Education Officer Redbrick Committee 2002/2003
