To explain my previous post, in the output from lsmod that you posted, I did not see where the video driver 's3virge' is running. The 'lsmod' command is translated to 'list modules' and will show a list of all modules currently loaded.
The 'insmod' command translates to 'insert module' and essentially executes it. If this actually works, then you probably want to edit or create the file /etc/modprobe.preload and add 's3virge' so the driver preloads on startup.
Let me know if this works for you.
From a terminal, su to root or open a root terminal and enter:
lsmod |grep s3virge
if you find that the module 's3virge' is not running, then do:
insmod s3virge
then run startx and let me know if this fixes your problem.On 8/15/06, Kenneth < madhse@yahoo.com> wrote:X is the program, and -configure is an option, you would run it from a
command line. But I wouldn't worry about it now, it looks like you've
already gotten farther than that with the config file you have.
I'm hardly an expert, but since you have all those modelines defined, I would
try putting
Modes "1152x864_75"
In the screen section, depth 16 subsection (assuming depth 16 and 75 Hz
refresh is what you want)
