Newbie Question
Hey all,
I'm a newbie to the list so you'll have to bear with me here.
I finally got brave enough to step away from the windoze world
and install debian on my laptop. The install went fine,
got everything up and running and the apt-get installed the following
X programs
xbase-clients, xlibs, xfree86-common, xserver-xfree86, kde...
problem is i'm having trouble config'ing my xserver.
when i do 'lspci' the last line is
01:00:0 VGA Compatible Controller : S3 Inc. : Unknown Device 8d01 (rev 02)
and when i run
xfree86 -configure
the screen just flickers off, then comes back with this error message
"
XFree86 has found a valid card configuration.
Unfortunately the appropriate data has not been added to xf86PciInfo.h.
Please forward 'scanpci -v' output to XFree86 support team.
When reporting a problem related to a server crash, please send
the full server output, not just the last messages.
This can be found in the log file "/var/log/XFree86.0.log".
Please report problems to submit@bugs.debian.org.
"
The contents of my XF86Config-4 file and XFree86.0.log can be seen on
http://www.redbrick.dcu.ie/~cambo/XF86Config-4.txt
and
http://www.redbrick.dcu.ie/~cambo/XFree86.0.log
Much appreciated if someone could tell me what the problem is.. or what i'm
doing stupid
