You included a copy of your XFree86.0.log. At the beginning of it, it tells you that lines that begin with (EE) are errors encountered; so a good place to start is in looking for those. In yours, we see: } (II) LoadModule: "mga_hal" } (WW) Warning, couldn't open module mga_hal } (II) UnloadModule: "mga_hal" } (EE) MGA: Failed to load module "mga_hal" (module does not exist, 0) } (II) MGA(0): Matrox HAL module not found - using builtin mode setup } instead . . .which I can tell you from personal experience (I have a G550) is not your problem. But later, at the end of the file, we see it unload all your modules for video devices: } (II) UnloadModule: "mga" } (II) UnloadModule: "fbdevhw" } (II) Unloading /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/linux/libfbdevhw.a } (II) UnloadModule: "vgahw" } (II) Unloading /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/libvgahw.a } (EE) Screen(s) found, but none have a usable configuration. It looks like you're right, and that your configuration is incorrect. Unfortunately, you don't include your configuration. Perhaps you might want to pass along your /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 . . . -c -- Chris Metzler cmetzler@speakeasy.snip-me.net (remove "snip-me." to email) "As a child I understood how to give; I have forgotten this grace since I have become civilized." - Chief Luther Standing Bear
