Can anyone tell me what files X is looking for when it can't find
"bitmap" and "pcidata" (why does it want pcidata at all?)? What packages
should be installing these? Where should they go?
"/usr/X11R6/lib/modules" doesn't exist. Please help. If there is more
info I could provide to help, please let me know!
Thanks!
