I was successful in getting X to start in 1024x768x8, but not higher. I've read that others have been able to get 1024x768x24, and I hope someone on this list might be able to help me out. Here's the screen section from my XF86Config: Section "Screen" Identifier "Screen 1" Device "* Generic VESA compatible" Monitor "My Monitor" DefaultDepth 24 DefaultFbBpp 32 Subsection "Display" Depth 8 Modes "1024x768" ViewPort 0 0 EndSubsection Subsection "Display" Depth 16 Modes "1024x768" ViewPort 0 0 EndSubsection Subsection "Display" Depth 24 FbBpp 32 Modes "1024x768" ViewPort 0 0 EndSubsection EndSection Here's the error message I receive: Total Memory: 13 64Kb banks (0M) (EE) VESA(0): No matching modes (II) UnloadModule: "vesa" (II) UnloadModule: "ddc" (II) Unloading /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/libddc.a (II) UnloadModule: "int10" (II) Unloading /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/libint10.a (II) UnloadModule: "vbe" (II) Unloading /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/libvbe.a (EE) Screen(s) found, but none have a usable configuration. Fatal server error: no screens found It seems odd to me that X sees a very small amount of memory: "Total Memory: 13 64Kb banks (0M)". What do I need to do to get X to see more memory? I've patched both i810_drv.o & agpreg.h w/ the i810diff & i810diff-2 patches. Here're the complete config, log, & dmesg: http://catacus.com/~catz/docs/help/vesa_xf86config http://catacus.com/~catz/docs/help/XFree86.0_log http://catacus.com/~catz/docs/help/dmesg What am I missing? Any help is appreciated.
