My best suggestion is to spend a good amount of time getting familiar with the XF86Config file. It contains all the relevant settings. I've found that getting help with X is difficult and knowing the config file is a better bet. For this particular error message, I'd start with the device driver entry you've got in there. Is it the right one for your video card? --Tim --- Devang Muchhala <devmuchhala@yahoo.com> wrote: > Hello, > > I am very new at UNIX, but I am learning as I go > along. I have installed v4.4.
