Re: can't get X started
After using xf86config program you have to change the "ChipId"
and "ChipRev" entries in the "Device" section of the /etc/XF86Config file
Example for my xf86config file:
Section "Device"
Identifier "ATI Mach64 3D RAGE II+, Internal RAMDAC"
VendorName "ATI"
BoardName "3D RAGE II+"
VideoRam 4096
ChipID 0x4754
ChipRev 0x01 #Ramdac "normal"
#Clockchip "ibm_rgb525"
EndSection
Good Luck
Jack

monitor. every time I run startx i get blank screen and the computer become
tottaly stuck (can't use alt ctrl backspace / + / del) and i have to reboot.
