RE: I cannot load kde 2.2.2

The debconf generated XF86Config-4 file may have an option in section Device 
enabling use of frame buffers, disable that option.  


Section Device
Identifier  nVidia TnT2
Driver  nv
BusID   PCI:01:00:00
#   Option  UseFBDev  true
EndSection

Subject: I cannot load kde 2.2.2



Hi everybody

I've got an ATI Rage 128PF video card. I am running woody with kernel version
2.4.18bf24. According to the manuals, it seems that I should use the r128
driver for my xfree86 configuration. However, the xserver it does not work.
When I try to use a desktop environment, it gives me the error  no screens
found.

I tried also with ati and it did not work either. Then I choose vesa and
it worked ok, butonly gnome. I cannot load kde which is very funny.

The problem is that it does not return any error; it starts to load it and
suddenly freezes.

I've checked the whole xserver-xfree86 configuration again and I cannot work
out why I am able to use gnome (and fluxbox as well) but  I cannot load kde.

any ideas are more than welcome

Rodrigo

Here is a link that I found very useful in getting my ATI Xpert 2000
video card, which uses the ATI Rage 128 chipset,  working with XFree86.

http://two.ucdavis.edu/~holland/unix/xpert2000.html

The relevant section of my XF86config-4 file is:

Section Device
Identifier  ATI Xpert2000
Chipset ATI Rage 128 RF (AGP)
Driver  r128
VideoRam32768
EndSection

I had to add the Chipset line to get XFree86 to fire up.
