Hello all!
I've been trying to configure the X-server in my new Woody installation
on a box with only supported hardware. In the days of XFree86 3.3.6 the
configuration was as easy as apple pie, in Woody it's a real PITA.
My question is: what is THE tool to configure the X-server in Woody?
You can try the xf86cfg tool, but I've better luck editing the
XF86Config-4 file by hand.
I've made at least three installations without getting the X-server to
run properly, right now it simply doesn't start. The
/var/log/XFree86.0.log file is attached here, I would be very grateful
if someone could take a look at it and see if there is something there
that could give a hint why the server doesn't start.
The only thing I can find that I don't understand is:
In XF86Config-4, in the Section Device if there is an option:
Option UseFBDev true
Comment it out. This has worked for me in the past, albeit with a
Matrox G400. Then try 'startx'.
Good luck.

in line 44.
The hardware is:
Ati Rage 128 video card
Gateway EV700 monitor
Standard 105 SE keyboard
Microsoft Intellimouse (IMPS/2)
All of the more common Linux dists (several versions of each of them)
have been running on this hardware including earlier versions of Debian.
What am I missing when it comes to configure X in Woody?
All the best,
