I seem to be having the same problem as you are with my new 2.0
distrib.  I know it's not too fruitful to receive another "I have that
problem too" response, but perhaps we could colaborate until someone
with a definite fix answers on the list.

My situation is similar, but on much more modest hardware.  I'm
installing to an old ThinkPad 701CS with 1024K video.

I've noticed that I had to create my own symlinks from
/usr/X11R6/bin/X -> /etc/X11/X and from /etc/X11/X ->
/usr/X11R6/bin/XF86_SVGA.  That was a little unusual I thought (having
to create them, I mean).  I also thought it was weird that the error
would say no screens found when the XF86config clearly has them.

I did try other XF86config files just for fun, and I wonder if the
syntax hasn't changed from XFree 3.3.2 to 3.3.3.  The error with the
3.3.2 config says it can't find an "accel" display configured, even
though there is an "Accel" configured beautifully.  I'm wondering if
one of the following scenarios explains our problems:

a) There's a new XF86Config syntax that XF86Setup doesn't fully know
about.

b) Something has changed from 3.3.2 to 3.3.3 such that symlinks don't
get created properly or aren't used similarly, and such that
configuration of the new version is different (trickier) than
configuration of the old version.

c) There's something really basic one or both of us overlooked because
of a 2:00am brainfart that clouded our vision.  Hopefully someone
smart will chime in and elucidate the error of our way....?

Luck and fortune to us both!  :-)
