Greetings yet again. I feel I'm making progress, but I
still need help in dealing with general linux
troubleshooting. The error in the subject line is the
error I get when my system is booting.
I then get a message about sending the full server
out, not just the message and a log file. The file is:
/var/log/XFree86.0.log. I opened that file with emacs.
Lot's of stuff.
The last line has my fatal server error, but I noticed
it has a line (I will quote it) above it which
indicates it is trying to load an S3 Video driver. I'm
pretty sure my machine does not have an S3. However, I
was trying to adjust my resolution to fill my screen
with a gui based mandrake tool and had clicked on an
S3 video driver. That was not good, but I thought I
had changed it back to generic. Could that be my
problem?
I don't know how to change it. I can only log into the
command line. I can navigate somewhat, but don't know
how to troubleshoot this and/or make configuration
changes. Please help.
I have searched mandrakes websites, posted a message
to their support forum and googled like crazy and
found no answers. I've worked on this all day, hoping
I could figure it out, now I just want to know how to
fix it. Thanks again.
-Steve
