Re: startx Fails
Looking at what you posted:
> (--) SVGA: videoram: 64k
This might be your problem. Are you running kernel 2.2.12? I had a
similar problem after my latest kernel upgrage in that it no longer
detected my video memory and I had to add a line in
/etc/X11/XF86Config Device section:
VideoRam 2048
It looks like your chipset isn't detected either. I understand that
NVidia has a custom XFree86 driver you can download from their web site.
