I am unable to setup x windows with Xfree86 4. Using
previous versions I could use XF86Setup and it would auto
probe my video card "S3Virge" and work perfectly. It appears
that XF86Setup is no longer an option so I tried using xf86cfg.
When I try using xf86cfg it launches an xsession perfectly
but I do not see an option to save the settings. Then I exit
out of xf86cfg and do a startx and get a fatal server error
no screens found. It sounds like the xserver isnt setup but
I do not see an option to config anything when xf86cfg is launched.
Is there a way to save the settings once xf86cfg launches ?
Thanks in advance,
Mike
