Problems with X
Howdy, y'all.
Before I explain the problem, let me provide a little background. A
couple of weeks ago, I decided to upgrade my system from 1.2 to 1.3.
Rather than just switching to the frozen directory and upgrading
packages, I did a full install to see if I could help test the new
distribution. Things went well until I got to X. Unfortunately for
me, I had forgotten to save off my working XF86Config file, so I went
ahead and generated a new on using the nice vga16 method. The newly
generated config file didn't work. X would start with no errors, but
tty7 was blank. I thought that maybe I had specified the wrong
parameters for my monitor, so I verified those in /usr/doc/X11/Monitors
and made some minor adjustments in XF86Config. I got the same result;
tty7 was blank. I then decided to try the old tty version of
xf86config and regenerated the XF86Config file. Once again, the same
result. I now must admit to being stumped. I would appreciate any
and all help. I'm including the output from startx, and the Device,
Monitor, and Screen sections from /etc/XF86Config.
Thanks in advance,
Lamar
