RE: Help needed on getting XFree86 running

["Tom Hesp" <tghesp@euronet.nl>]

Hi Kent,

Thanks for your reply.

I tried your suggestions but changing the config file did not make any
difference.

When I tried "modprobe agpgart" it returned: "modprobe: Can't locate module
agpgart". Do you know where I can get it (or which package this is part of)?

Thanks, Tom

Try setting to a lower default, or try setting the res to a lower setting:

Try "modprobe agpgart" and then try starting X; if that works, put
"agpgart" in /etc/modules.

So apparently your problem is video related. Try the suggestions above
and let us know.
