There were a lot of problems I saw... hopefully solved now. My problem is different: I manage to get into X as before, but the server seems to add noise to the image when something changes on the screen. It begins with some stars (single pixels) before even the grey pattern appears, continuously pattering the screen while moving the cursor, like an old tv without an antenna.
This happens with several Chipset entries. After some tries even the normal text font begins to show some strange pixels. (My t's showing up here are quite ugly...) What can I do to get my screen back? my old Device config in xf86config: (I used the best match) Section "Device" Identifier "Trident TGUI9420DGi (generic)" VendorName "Unknown" BoardName "Unknown" #VideoRam 1024 Ramdac "sc15025" Clockchip "sc11412" EndSection this is my new try which shows the same snow: Section "Device" Identifier "Trident TGUI9420DGi (generic)" VendorName "IBM" BoardName "Laptop card" VideoRam 1024 ChipSet "tgui9320lcd" EndSection this shows up when starting the server: XF86Config: /etc/X11/XF86Config (**) stands for supplied, (--) stands for probed/default values (**) XKB: disabled (**) XKB: keymap: "xfree86(us)" (overrides other XKB settings) (**) Mouse: type: PS/2, device: /dev/mouse, baudrate: 1200, 3 button emulation (timeout: 50ms) (**) SVGA: Graphics device ID: "Trident TGUI9420DGi (generic)" (**) SVGA: Monitor ID: "My Monitor" (--) SVGA: Mode "800x600" needs hsync freq of 48.08 kHz.
