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! Brett Taylor brett@peloton.physics.montana.edu
