Well, after a message from Greg Madden I reinstalled Woody from scratch using the 2.4 Kernel and X86Free V4.1. And as per Harold Bibik's post, I went to Matrox's site and downloaded the latest drivers. That got rid of the "missing mga_hal" message. However, it still can't seem to find any screens that it likes. I have included the XF86Config-4 file and the output from "startx 2> startx.log" after the signature. What bothers me is why it's unhappy with the screens section, given that this was created by a tool. Unless of course the syntax/content of the file is fine, but the xserver is probing the hardware and comes up with some issue. To reiterate, the card is a Matrox Millenium G200 and the monitor is an AOpen F50L LCD panel. Any other ideas out there? Cheers, -rick -SNIP- <
Dunno why (or IF) this will work for you, but re-run "dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86" and this time select NOT to use the framebuffer. I "think" that question is in the first half of the set. I recently helped another feller get his X going and he got the same complaints. Changing to not using the framebuffer solved it for him.
Also, you might try easing back on your "default" settings until you can get it going...i.e. use 8 or 16 bit color depth, and a 640X480 screen resolution. These should easily fall withing the Monitor parameters you have set. Once you get SOMETHING going, then you can go back and push the settings back up in a step-wise fashion until you start getting the "no screens found" message.
I notice your monitor settings seem a bit narrow for most modern monitors, (horizontal = 28-49, Vertical = 43-72). These are different from the settings given on the AOpen website (http://www.aopen.com/products/monitor/lcd/US/f50l.htm) for the F50L monitor (Horizontal = 30-62, Vertical = 50-75). and the messages seem to indicate that the resolution requested don't fit any of the provided settings. You might pay attention to these settings if they apply... dunno exactly which model you have. I am inferring this from your XF86Config-4 file.
