Re: Xwindows doesn't start on new install



I'm not certain how to change the driver to vesa.
In this section:

Section "Device"
	Identifier	"nVidia Corporation NV17GL [Quadro4 500 GoGL]"
	Driver		"ivtvdev"
	BusID		"PCI:1:0:0"
EndSection

i change "ivtvdev" to "vesa"
No effect.

Is this what you meant to do?

Hmm. Got a mouse and keyboard, agp is seen, nvidia driver is loaded, but
can't see the card.  May be a problem with proprietary chip here (and I
could be wrong, too), but try using vesa as the card driver in your
xorg.conf.  If that works, you may have to look into special settings
for the xorg driver or compiling the proprietary driver.

The other place we could be wrong is in the bus identifier parameter,
but that appears correct to me.
