You have checked that dpkg-reconfigure actually changes the file /etc/X11/XF86Config-4? If you altered that file without dpkg-reconfigure, it will not store the new configuration to that file. If this happens, read the above URL for FAQ on how to get the file back under dpkg-reconfigure control. > I reconfigured XF86Free-4 using 'dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86' (with > both the VESA and i810 driver) I received the following errors when > trying to startx. > > (WW) VESA: No matching Device section for instance (BusID PCI:0:2:0) > found > (EE) No Devices detected. This is strange. VESA should work. You might get higher resolution if you set Depth to 8, but then you only get 256 colors. I'm not sure about this, I don't remember what was the maximum resolution VESA standard supported. > > > ------ > > results of 'lspci' -- these were the two lines which referenced the > video chip (I think). > > (--) PCI:*(0:2:0) Intel Corp. 82852/855GM Integrated Graphics Device rev > 1, Mem [EMAIL PROTECTED]/27, 0xe0000000/19, I/O @0x1800/3 > (--) PCI:(0:2:1) Intel Corp. 82852/855GM Integrated Graphics Device rev > 1, Mem [EMAIL PROTECTED]/27, 0xe0000000/19, I/O @0x1800/3 According to http://opensource.cph.dk/xfree86/htdocs/4.3.0/i810.4.html 855GM chipset is supported by i810 driver. > > ------ > > This is the Knoppix XFree86-4 generated config file for "Device," > "Screen," and "Display" which does work but only gives a max 800x600 > resolution. > > Section "Device" > Identifier "Card0" > VendorName "All" > BoardName "All" > # BusID "PCI:1:0:0" There is no Driver here? What driver is the Knoppix using? I think this Device section will not work without a Driver line. -- Tapio Lehtonen [EMAIL PROTECTED] GPG public key from http://www.iki.fi/Tapio.Lehtonen
