Re: Virtual PC 5.2

I have tried every card (I think) listed and I have not had any luck with virtual pc.

If anybody out there knows what it takes to configure the startx for the virtual pc environment I would be interested. I know that it works, as I had it running with Knoppix at one time. Unfortunately my knoppix disk got a big scratch and I have not downloaded it again.

I have been using dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86 to try to set this up.

Hi,

I hope this is the place for newbie questions...

I am trying to install Debian on Virtual PC 5.2 (on a wintel box)

The first part of the install works fine, but I am having trouble

getting X-Windows to work.  I have edited the XF86Config file

to use the s3 driver, but I think I have made a mistake somewhere.

The output from startx (or at least the last part of the output)

is:

    (II) S3VIRGE: driver (version 1.6.13) for S3 ViRGE chipsets: virge,

86C3

           virge vx, 86C988, virge dx, virge gx, 86C375, 86C385, virge

gx2,

           86C357, virge mx, 86C260, virge mx+, 86C280, trio 3d, 86C365,

           trio 3d/2x, 86C362, 86C368

    (--) Assigning device section with no busID to primary device

    (EE) No devices detected.

    Fatal server error:

    no screens found

I can't figure out if this means that the driver is not detecting the

video card, or whether it means I have made a mistake in the

configuration

file.  Any help on this would be appreciated.

Adelle.
