You're missing some stuff in your xorg.conf file. It found the graphics |
| 30 |
chipset OK. The easiest way to get on the air is usually the following: |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
1. Log on to the console as root. |
| 33 |
2. Type |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
# X -configure |
| 36 |
|
| 37 |
X will start up, probe your hardware, and write a file |
| 38 |
"/root/xorg.conf.new" |
| 39 |
|
| 40 |
3. You'll need to edit this file in two or three places. For some reason |
| 41 |
(I should file a defect on this) it usually gets the mouse device wrong. |
| 42 |
Edit the file and if it says "/dev/mice" or "/dev/mouse", change it to |
| 43 |
"/dev/psaux". You should end up with a line that looks something like this: |
| 44 |
|
| 45 |
Option "Device" "/dev/psaux" |
| 46 |
|
| 47 |
|
| 48 |
4. Figure out what screen resolution you want. Most monitors these days |
| 49 |
are capable of handling all sorts of resolutions, but I've got a fairly |
| 50 |
ancient one and can't deal with small characters, so I usually just use |
| 51 |
1024x768. Towards the bottom of the xorg.conf.new file, you'll want |
| 52 |
something like this: |
| 53 |
|
| 54 |
Section "Screen" |
| 55 |
Identifier "Screen0" |
| 56 |
Device "Card0" |
| 57 |
Monitor "Monitor0" |
| 58 |
DefaultColorDepth 24 |
| 59 |
SubSection "Display" |
| 60 |
Viewport 0 0 |
| 61 |
Depth 1 |
| 62 |
Modes "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480" |
| 63 |
EndSubSection |
| 64 |

The specific error message you got, |
| 93 |
|
| 94 |
Fatal server error: |
| 95 |
no screens found |
| 96 |
|
| 97 |
indicates something is wrong in this last section I posted. |

Once you've edited xorg.conf.new, you can test it by typing |
| 100 |
|
| 101 |
# X -config /root/xorg.conf.new |
| 102 |
|
| 103 |
If X comes up, copy the new config file to /etc/X11/xorg.conf and you |
| 104 |
should be ready. |
