No, that is NOT what "no screens found" means. "no screens found" means... when initialization was done and the first X client was about to launch, there's no display available to talk to. It *usually* means all your modelines were out of spec (even the "default" ones that X makes up for VESA compliance) or some other illegal combination led to no screens being safe to use. 'Twas said there were a lot of (II) messages. Some of them may have been details about the monitor? Deletion of bad modes should be (WW) messages. But autodetected capabilities would be (II) ... A glance at the attached config (to the message ahead of this one) doesn't look out of the ordinary, but I don't have access to that model. So now I'm curious about the actual messages. startx 2> startx.damage.report (okay, okay, usually folks use .X.err, or something like, but this would be a friendlier attachment) * Heather Stern * star@ many places... -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
