Hello, I already asked this question in my local linux ng, but the answer were not that helpfull. So I hope somebody can give me an answer here. I would like to reconfigure X windows on my machine. Especially the grafical settings need some finetuning. I would like to change resolutions and add virtual screen. So I start XF86Setup as root, but I get this error: Tomsk:~# XF86Setup & [1] 23274 Tomsk:~# Error in database, invalid reference: ET4000/W32 (generic). Error in database, invalid reference: ET4000/W32 (generic). Error in database, invalid reference: ET4000/W32 (generic). Error in database, invalid reference: Generic VGA compatible. Error in database, invalid reference: Generic VGA compatible. Warning CHIPSET specification missing in Card database entry S3 Savage4 (line 1442).

Warning SERVER specification missing in Card database entry Trident Cyber 9320 (generic) (line 2218).
Any idea what the problem is? Also some guy suggested using xf86config instead. So I tried this too. However, when I restart gdm using the new XF86Config file I get a black screen, so no X. Actually there is a small '+' sign in the upper left corner. I guess this has someting to do with the graphical card I choose from the database. I have an Nvidia Riva TNT II Pro. In the specs of my graphics card I also find 128-bit high performance accelarator. In the database there is RIVATNT2 and RIVA128. I don't really know which one to choose. I tried both but none seem to work. Any suggestions here?
