NOTE: There 'was' an error "(EE) AIGLX: Screen 0 is not DRI capable".
I was advised to add
Section "ServerFlags"
Option "AIGLX" "off"
EndSEction
at the end of the xorg.config. That removed the error message.

I thought not but now I wonder. I had the line "VideoRam 4096" in
the conf when the above errors happened. Which worked with xorg 7.0.
I just commented it out and now the driver fails with
----
(WW) warning, (EE) error, (NI) not implemented, (??) unknown.
(==) Log file: "/var/log/Xorg.0.log", Time: Mon Dec 11 13:51:01 2006

(EE) Screen(s) found, but none have a usable configuration.
Fatal server error:
no screens found
------
Not like 394687, but it does seem that the ramdac has something to do
with the failure.

Yes, many times with many changes but it did not help.

{Blush} No. It never occured to me. I just tried it and I do have an
ugly X now though. :-) Thanks for the reminder!!!

I sent the above user information in a bug report, via reportbug, and sent
a copy to the "Debian X Strike Force" mailing list.
I don't normally use X as root and just tried that today.

Yes they did!!! I will now try getting the display to the resolution
I want and see if that can be done.
I will also try some other changes to the tseng xorg.conf to see if I
can get more information to help the developers track this problem
down.
Tnanks loads Sven! You have help me more than you know. I really
appreciate the 'kick' and hope that long post might help others as well.
Many, Many Thanks.
Best Regards
