Here is the output of dmesg and the XFree86.0.log ... sorry for the Windows cr's ... but then you probably figured out that I am a Linux newbie a long time ago ... trying hard to make the switch :-). Also Joel, I got hopeful when I saw your "is your screen is well connected to your eg/pci card?" comment because I had the eg/pci connected to the screen through a kvm. I connected the screen directly to the eg/pci through the evc to vga adapter, but unfortunately nothing changed. I did CS11:~# ls -la /dev/fb0 and got crw-rw---- 1 root video 29, 0 Jun 26 20:47 /dev/fb0 Thanks again for all of your help!! I hope one of you can see something obvious in dmesg or XFree86.0.log. -----Original Message----- From: Joel Soete [mailto:joel.soete@tiscali.be] Sent: Sunday, June 27, 2004 3:18 PM To: Harry Cochran Subject: Re: Graphics mode on my C3000 - still no joy - more info Harry Cochran wrote: >I was wrong about the message "Process set to nice value 0 instead of -10 as >requested" after the "I cannot start the X server" window ... it's gone.

Again, please help us to help you more accurately (your dmesg and XFree86.0.log would be helpfull) Joel > Or, Helge, is that better to use another fb (eg fb1) ? No, you should cat /proc/fb which should give you "0 stifb". So, /dev/fb0 is your device. And, /dev/fb0 should look like: pa64:~# ls -la /dev/fb0 crw-rw---- 1 root video 29, 0 Jun 27 22:02 /dev/fb0 > Please send us your dmesg and /var/log/XFree86.0.log Yes, please. Helge
