Therefore 1) be sure you have the 3.3.3.1 release 2) run xf86config . This is a configuration utility that lets you customize X creating the XF86Config file . At any time you can exit it by typing ^c. Nothing will be saved . Now , what you should do is to run this program til you come to the video cards database and check if your card is supported by X . If it's not you can look at www. XFree86.org for a newer release that suits your needs, if they have any 3) of course if you find your video card is supported that means the problem hides elsewhere.....
