Hi, (sory about my english)
I am a newnewbie, and a have some dificults with computers (but some day I will not...), so easy on me please!
I need help with X:
I downloaded and installed xfree86-4.0.1. When a run xf86config, in the graphics seccion, the program told me to not worry about if my graphics card were not in the list. OK, my Matrox G400 MAX Dual Head 32Mb is not in the list. During the rest of configuration, I had the filling that it won't work, because the configuration didn't ask me for the resolutions (as did in my second machine with matrox millenium II 4Mb).
After this configuration, I run startx, but there was no "windows". There was some messages, and the 2 last ones were:
(EE) VGA(0): Given depth (16) is not suported by this driver
(EE)Screen(s) found, but none have a usable configuration
So what can I do?
Thank's very much...
Daniel
