Screen is just a name for the display. These are just some generic suggestions that help sometimes. As root type lsmod and look for agpgart. This is the module for agp. Also see if you have a /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 file. If so, the config file you ran probally made a file without the "-4". You can view them by less filename. If this is the case copy XF86Config to XF86Config-4. Has any hardware been changed since this file worked?

[mart_man00]

when i ran lsmod i saw nothing listed at all. so i edited /etc/modules.autoload and added it in. i restarted and ran lsmod again to find nothing again, wrong file?

i renamed the file and no nothing has been changed.

thanks

I haven't used Red Hat in probally 4 or so years, so they may have agp compiled into the kernel instead of a module. Before adding the module to the /etc/modules file try 'modprobe agpgart'. This is the manual way to load a module. Also, do you have two mice or another input source other than one keyboard and one mouse? You have three listed. You can try commenting out one of the mice under serverlayout.

[mart_man00]

no, i have just 1 mouse and one keyboard. i think i compiled agp in my kernel, i took it out of modules.autoloead and it does startup now.

to bad it looks like crap, its in my new post

thanks guys
