Hi,

I have X up and running and it everything appears to work fine.  However,
in the console log I am getting the following message over and over again: 

Feb  9 21:57:00 peloton init: getty repeating too quickly on port
/dev/ttyv4, sleeping 30 secs

I assume this is due to a slight misconfigure of the XF86Config file, but
I don't know what.  I am running a #9 FX 771 4Mb card with a Nanao T2-17TS
monitor.  Here's how I have the card configured in XF86Config:

Section "Device"
    Identifier  "#9 FX 771"
    VendorName  "#9"
    BoardName   "FX 771"
    #VideoRam    4096
   #s3RefClk  16
# Use Option "nolinear" if the server doesn't start up correctly
# (this avoids the linear framebuffer probe). If that fails try
# option "nomemaccess".
#
# Refer to /usr/X11R6/lib/doc/README.S3, and the XF86_S3 man page.
    # Insert Clocks lines here if appropriate
EndSection

I got this configuration via the xf86config utility.  When it asked about
RAMDAC however I didn't know what to put so I just hit return.  Since this
mentions clocks as well, I'm wondering if that might be the problem.  Any
ideas? 

Thanks a lot ahead of time for your help!
