X Server fails to start
Last Friday I used aptitude to update the software on my old Dell
Precision Workstation 340, which is running Debian's testing
distribution. After the update completed, I rebooted and X Server
failed to start. At the end of /var/log/Xorg.0.log (attached) I see
the following error messages:
[ 1627.901] (EE) Screen(s) found, but none have a usable configuration.
[ 1627.901] (EE)
Fatal server error:
[ 1627.901] (EE) no screens found(EE)
[ 1627.901] (EE)
According to lspci, I have the following video card
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.
[AMD/ATI] Rage 128 PRO Ultra AGP 4x
and it is attached to a UltraSharp U2410 (24 inch LCD display). Before
the software update, the X Server was working fine, driving the display
at 1920x1200. I don't have an xorg.conf, although after doing some
search to try to diagnose the problem and find a solution I ran "Xorg
-configure" to create one, and tried tweeking it to get the X Server
working, but was failed.
Any help diagnosing the problem and finding a solution would be appreciated.
