I have a very annoying problem with my XFree86 set up today. I'm trying to get an installation from -testing and selected the x-window-server to bring everything in.
No errors during installation. No errors when I log in as 'root' However, when I log in as a non-root user, it fails and I'm back at the xdm window. XFree86.0.log shows: (II) LoadModule: "vgahw" (II) Loading /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/libvgahw.a (II) Module vgahw: vendor="The XFree86 Project" compiled for 4.2.1.1, module version = 0.1.0 ABI class: XFree86 Video Driver, version 0.5 (**) MGA(0): Depth 24, (--) framebuffer bpp 32 (==) MGA(0): RGB weight 888 (II) Loading sub module "mga_hal" (II) LoadModule: "mga_hal" (WW) Warning, couldn't open module mga_hal (II) UnloadModule: "mga_hal" (EE) MGA: Failed to load module "mga_hal" (module does not exist, 0) (II) MGA(0): Matrox HAL module not loaded - using builtin mode setup instead (--) MGA(0): Chipset: "mgag400" (G400) (==) MGA(0): Using AGP 1x mode (--) MGA(0): Linear framebuffer at 0xDC000000 (--) MGA(0): MMIO registers at 0xEFAFC000 (--) MGA(0): Pseudo-DMA transfer window at 0xEF000000 (--) MGA(0): BIOS at 0xEFAE0000 (II) Truncating PCI BIOS Length to 32768 (--) MGA(0): Video BIOS info block at offset 0x07A80 (WW) MGA(0): Video BIOS info block not detected!

Recently it was running Suse, but we had some differences... But this has me stymied. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
