Actually I managed to start X with VGA configuration. But the throughput is very minimal. Also when i start X on i810 configuration,
it displays an error stating "Fatal Error : Screen found but no usable configuration"
As advised by you I am currently downloading sarge ISO images. By the way I tried to recompile 2.4; All went well, but on booting(with grub) it displays an error --
file system is ext2. File system not supported.
Any suggestion on where I may be going wrong??
