I am new to Linux and was installing Debian 2.0 last night. It seemed to go
well. Dselect gave me some problems, but with the help on this list, I was
able to get that working. Once I log in as root and get the prompt, I type
"startx" and it blanks the screen, then comes back with
Fatal server error: No valid modes found
_X11TransSocketUNIXConnect: Can't connect:errno=111
giving up
xinit: Connection refused (errno 111): unable to connect to X
server
xinit: No such process (errno 3): Server error.
I have an S3 Virge w/ 4MB. Not sure what version. I tried running
/usr/sbin/xbase-configure force and configuring it for a generic S3. I
choose the Super VGA interlaced. It seems to work fine, but then when I am
done and go back to the prompt, and startx again, same problem. Any
suggestions would be great. If I need to alter anything by hand, please
tell me how to do that. I really don't know what I am doing.
