I am using a linux-from-scratch system, I downloaded
all the
sources for xf86 4.2.0 and installed them correctly
with symlinks and with correct entries in ld.conf etc.
I configured the x system using xf86config, ( i have a
nvidia riva tnt2 card and microsoft usb optical mouse
) but when i give the command startx, i get the
following errors ( i have also attached the log file
):
(WW) NV (0) : Failed to setup write combining range (
0xe400, 0x200)
When i give the command xf86cfg :
only a blank black screen appears.
when i give the command XFree86 :
A hatched grey screen appears with a ( crossed ) mouse
cursor that does not move
I am sure there is no mistake with my hardware. I
think there must be incompatiablity problems with my
nvidia riva tnt2 card and xf86. I am also confused
with the different results that i get from these
different commands
Can anyone please help me ??
