The machine is an HP NetServer with built in graphics using a Cirus GD5446 chip and 2 meg. I tried to follow the instructions in the handbook, but running XFree86 -configure produces the same error as below, it does not make a starting config file. I tried running xf86config to produce the config file, and that works but I still get the same error when trying to startx. I get the same errors when i select the card as Cirus 544x, or 5446 noname, or Generic VGA.
