Thanks Helge and Joel,
I edited /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 according to your recommendations. It now
reads:
Section "Screen"
Identifer "Default Screen"
Device "Generic Video Card"
Monitor "Generic Monitor"
DefaultDepth 8
SubSection "Display"
Depth 8
Modes "1280x1024"
EndSubSection
EndSection
On reboot, I get the same error as before. A dialog box asking if I wanted
to see what was wrong with the X configuration and I said "Yes".
you would better answer no, but that doesn't matter now ;)
This
brought up a window which said "Process set to nice value 0 instead of -10
as requested" and a bunch of XFree disclaimers.
Check now if your /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 still looks like
<ftp://ftp.parisc-linux.org/XFree86/XF86Config-4>
and you can re-launch startx from some shell (with preference of non
root user)
umm that said is that your fb0 point well to your EG/PCI card? I mean
at the PDC prompt which "Console path:" is it shown?
Or, Helge, is that better to use another fb (eg fb1) ?
Please send us your dmesg and /var/log/XFree86.0.log
It feels like the changes
I'm making to XF86Config-4 aren't making any difference. Is the process
xinit goes through reading XFConfig-4 dynamic on every boot?
Hope so ;)
Also, does anyone have any idea about the error:
"Setting up xfonts-scalable (4.3.0.dfsg.1-5) ...
fmt: invalid line number increment: '0'
dpkg: error processing xfonts-scalable (--configure):
subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1
umm I never encounter this pb may try to re-install (apt-get install
--reinstall xfonts-scalable)
hth,
Joel
