I'm sorry about that. The X server output is at /var/log/XFree86.0.log anyway, and you can minimize filesystem damage as well as maximize log output by remounting your filesystem in synchronous mode before trying to start X. > Bus 0, device 18, function 0: > VGA compatible controller: ATI Mach64 GT (Rage II) (rev 154). > Section "Device" > Identifier "Generic Graphics Device" > BusID "PCI:0:18:0" > Driver "fbdev" > EndSection This looks sane. I guess you need Michael Schmitz' kernel patch (I guess you're booting with BootX, right?) or a 2.4 kernel.
