Re: No Screens found

Sorry, I cannot post to the news-group online. Yes, I did register and
get everything into my mailbox.

Before I send the long stuff, in the meantime I tried all suggestions

(> dpkg-reconfigure --priority=low --frontend=dialog xserver-xfree86
done. No success ...)

(> Try defining vert and horyz refresh for your monitor in the
XF86Config-4 > config file. Then define modes like "1024x768", etc and
defaultdepth
done. no success ....)

Curious, I stuck in a RIVA TNT/2, which worked.
I tried the r128-driver, also no success.
I even upgraded to unstable, everything okay, except of X.

Don't tell me that card is gone: It works nicely from that exactly same
hardware, only another partition (RedHat). From which I am writing here.
Thanks to grub.


Here come all the details: (here for ati instead of r128, but all the
same result)
