Tim, Try this to post your XF86config-4 file and xfree log file.
1. put dos formated floppy in drive. I think that supermount should mount it automatically. If not manually mount it with "mount -t vfat /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy" 2. cp /etc/X11/XF86config-4 /mnt/floppy 3. cd /var/log 4. ls look for a file that starts with xfree or something like that. not sure of file name for log file but something close to this I think... 5. cp xfree /mnt/floppy 6. unmount floppy if needed. Post those two files here. --- Tim Werner <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi, > > I'm still trying to get my PCI SiS 5598/6326 video > card to work on ML9.0. > > Yesterday Mike suggested that I configure it as > 'vesa', but from the X > Configuration install step, that selection is only > available under XFree-4. > I tried it anyway, and got the following errors: > (EE) no core pointer device specified > (EE) Unable to determine the screen layout > > I also tried choosing XFree-3 server SVGA, and got > the error > Config error /etc/X11/F86COnfig.test:10 > > I also booted into console mode and ran xf86config. > I think I entered the > right numbers, but couldn't figure out how to get > XFree-3 to run.
