Getting startx to run
I have a new installation of Debian 2.0. I am trying to configure x to
work properly. First I tried xf86config and tried to create an extremely
simple config file to get it work. It does not.
Then I tried XF86Setup and it worked so long as I bring X up from this
program but when I try to run startx to begin x I get the following error
line as far as I can see. (I haven't figured out how to capture the
output of the startx command in full so here is the best I have.)
=======================
(**) XKB: symbols: "us(pc101)"
(**) XKB: geometry: "pc"
(**) XKB: keymap: "xfree86(us)" (overrides other XKB settings)
(**) XKB: rules: "xfree86"
(**) Mouse: type: BusMouse, device: /dev/logibm, buttons: 3
(**) I128: Graphics device ID: "Diamond Viper 330"

*** None of the configured devices were detected.***

giving up.

================
As I said I can get XF86Setup to bring up a X screen and it says
congratulations on getting x to work but then when I save XF86Config file
and then try to run startx I get I get the above error messages.
I have a Diamond Viper V330 card which is supported in the SVGA server and
4megs of vram and all of my other hardware works.
Any help would be great,
Thanks in advance,
