Re: fatal error: no screens found
Hello Henry B. ,
I am still using X version 3, and dont know whether that makes a
difference in this case.
So if i am talking nonsense here, please ignore it.

X 3 's monitor section would have some lines like :
Modeline "800x600" 50.69 800 804 904 956 600 625 628 656
-hsync -vsync
to specify the timing of video signals.
Your config file lacks any specification of video timings,
eg it only says that your monitor is capable of doing 43-75 Hz
vertical,
but does not specify which of these frequencies should be used.
You could try copying above modeline to it, if your videocard's clock
can run at 50.69 MHz.
This might give you 50MHz/800=60kHz horizontal and 60kHz/600=100Hz
vertical.
But better check documentation of config file first, to see whether
this changed in xf4.
I hope this helps.
Have fun !
Siward
