When I looked at the archives, I just did a search on the error message I was seeing. Unfortunately, it turned up empty. After you mentioned this, I did go back and browse the posts from a few days ago and found the discussion you alluded to. > Yes.. the issue is that syscons isn't supported and without it > XFree86 will not work properly.
