However, I was unable to find a monitor and video card setting that will allow me to startx. Startx fails complaining of being unable to find a usable configuration. After several days of trial and error, I was compelled to give up and conclude that 4.6 has no monitor/video card settings compatible with my laptop. Does anyone know of a work around that I use? Thanks.
