For some odd reason I can configure X w/o an existing config file and
cannot when one exists. I've included the configuration made by XF86Setup
and the output below after running setup for the second time.
XF86Config: /etc/X11/XF86Config
(**) stands for supplied, (--) stands for probed/default values
(**) XKB: rules: "xfree86"
(**) XKB: model: "pc101"
(**) XKB: layout: "us"
(**) Mouse: type: Microsoft, device: /dev/mouse, baudrate: 1200,
Chorded middle button
(**) Accel: Graphics device ID: "Primary Card"
(**) Accel: Monitor ID: "Primary Monitor"
(**) MONO: Graphics device ID: "Primary Card"
(**) MONO: Monitor ID: "Primary Monitor"
Fatal server error:
No "Display" subsection for -bpp depth 8
any ideas? the configuration file looks normal to me.
