XF86Setup problem
Hello,
I already asked this question in my local linux ng, but the answer were
not that helpfull. So I hope somebody can give me an answer here.
I would like to reconfigure X windows on my machine. Especially the
grafical settings need some finetuning. I would like to change resolutions
and add virtual screen. So I start XF86Setup as root, but I get this
error:
Tomsk:~# XF86Setup &
[1] 23274
Tomsk:~# Error in database, invalid reference: ET4000/W32 (generic).

Any idea what the problem is?
Also some guy suggested using xf86config instead. So I tried this too.
However, when I restart gdm using the new XF86Config file I get a black
screen, so no X. Actually there is a small '+' sign in the upper left
corner.
I guess this has someting to do with the graphical card I choose from the
database.
I have an Nvidia Riva TNT II Pro. In the specs of my graphics card I also
find 128-bit high performance accelarator. In the database there is
RIVATNT2 and RIVA128. I don't really know which one to choose. I tried
both but none seem to work.
Any suggestions here?
Thanks, Regards
