OK, this may be something. Before the [drm] failed to load kernel module "r128" error there are 2 errors for drmOpenDevice saying node name is /dev/drm0, then, open result is -1, (Operation not permitted). If I look in /dev there is no drm0 device. So something seems wrong. Anyone know wh

Thank you. I checked and I found this error in the mix of a ton of stuff: [drm] failed to load kernel module "r128" Since a Rage 128 card is what I have, that doesn't sound good. That was in a .old file, so I think that was when I tried with an xorg.conf file that called r128 specifically and

Thank you for the reply Patrick. I forgot to say that, I did try that, and after that the laptop wouldn't give me a login when I booted anymore, I don't know why. But that made it impossible to do anything local on the laptop. And I don't care if it boots into X, in fact I prefer not to, but
