I'm trying to set up a clean version of Debian, and for the life of me I
can't figure out why X won't work.
Attached it the output log of what happens when I try and run startx, as
well as my XF86Config.
For what it's worth, I've got an s3 virge for video, a SYS 1510P for a
monitor (flatscreen; does 1024x768), I'm running 2.4.21 (custom built),
and debian unstable. Debian stable had exactly the same problem though.
I tried going to the (unsupported) 4.3 for debian and got the same error,
so I downgraded again.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Joel
