XF86Config Issue.... pls help!

[LittleGreenGecko]

I am running a Micron monitor with a Diamond S540 (S3 Savage4) Graphics card. I have tweaked the file so many times, I have lost count. Would someone pls help me.


here is the "/var/log/XFree86.0.log" file listing that I get when I run "X -configure":

I get the same error when I manually configure the file and run "startx". I have been trying this for a while now.

If the server is older than 6-12 months, or if your card is
newer than the above date, look for a newer version before
reporting problems. (See http://www.XFree86.Org/)

Pls let me know if I should post my XF86config file, I don't think that this error is in the configuration.

Thank you for all of your help

that log file looks incomplete to me.

One thing... did you build the drm into the kernel

(from usr/src/linux/.config)
# CONFIG_DRM is not set
^^^^ if as above, you need to turn it on.


from what I've been reading from Tim Roberts (http://www.probo.com/~timr/savage40) the most recent, bestest, hottest drivers for the savage chips is native to X4.2.0...

other thing .. did you build the AGP stuff?
CONFIG_AGP=y
CONFIG_AGP_INTEL=y
CONFIG_AGP_I810=y
CONFIG_AGP_VIA=y
CONFIG_AGP_AMD=y
CONFIG_AGP_SIS=y
CONFIG_AGP_ALI=y
CONFIG_AGP_SWORKS=y

(again from usr/src/linux/.config ...
try grep AGP /usr/src/linux)
If not as above you need to turn that on too...

As Lorithar posted... there is no error in the log your included.

(and please don't say 'no screens found') :D
