Re: X server crashes....

[Alvin Oga <aoga@Mail.Linux-Consulting.com>]

hi y..

the X messges is saying...
a.  it did not recognize any legal display for sync
	1024x768, 1280x1024 800x600 etc... nothing...

	- you do NEED to know the horizontal sync and vertical refresh values
	( or the manufacturers model number )

b.  run Xconfigurator or XF86Setup or someother X11 setup tool...

c.  Check the errors again with the same method you used or
	X -probeonly

have fun
