1 In addition to other troubles, my X server won't start under any
2 circumstances that I've been able to construct.

4 My actual video is on the motherboard and is an ATI Rage XL chipset (I
5 think that uses the drvier r128?)

7 My current worry is that "startx" fails quickly, reporting no screens
8 found. My guess is the missing extensions reported in the following
9 typescript. The files named there are broken symbolic links to
10 /usr/lib/opengl/xorg-x11/extensions/<whatever> but that directory is
11 empty.
12
13 If I change the driver to "fbdev", it fails and reports that /dev/fb0
14 does not exist. I don't understand frambuffers, so I don't know what
15 to make of that. It sure seems this system is missing a bunch of
16 pieces.

18 Here's a typescript below, the /var/log/Xlog.0.log is at
