Re: [XFree86] fatal server error: no screen found

[Lionel Lecoq]

A few more details would be helpful (monitor, graphic card, full XF86Config, full log)
However , from the parsing error and the fact that you are not using the standard
/etc/X11/XF86Config resp. /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 (which would be the RH 7.x version for 
X 4.x.x) I
wonder whether you are not using an XF86Config which has a X 3.3.6 format rather than 
the
different format for X 4.x.x (Check whether your config file has a Keyboard and 
pointer section *
version 3.3.6* rather than two input device sections *version X 4.x.x*)

Considering the stack of primary devices X seems to find, I think you may want 
to consider setting the BusID to one of them to force X to choose. Currently 
it doesn't seem to be able to do that. Try adding
  BusID"0:8:0"
to your Device section, or if that doesn't work, try some of the other IDs 
mentioned for your primary devices.

The syntax would be:

   BusID "PCI:0:8:0"

That's worth a try.  This is either a mothboard BIOS bug or bus
probing bug in XFree86.  If /proc/pci reports these redundant
S3 devices as well, I would say it's a BIOS bug and you should
look into an upgrade.  If /proc/pci doesn't show the multiple
S3 devices, then perhaps this is a bug that was fixed in XFree86
4.4.
