The Vesa driver works fine with CentOS 4.4. I have an NVidia 6200 video adapter. I go to Applications | System Settings | Display | Hardware tab and find my video adapter in the list and set it. The dialog tells me I have to log out for it to take effect, so I duly do that. I then getting a message from a non-graphics screen saying that the attempt to switch to the video adapter failed. When I view why, amidst all the information given is the messages:

(EE) No devices detected.
Fatal server error:
No screens found

I am able to switch back to the Vesa driver through the non-graphics screen, and this brings me back to my graphics login and I am once again successfully in CentOS 4.4 using the Vesa driver.

Does anybody have any idea what the messages above mean or how I can correct it so it can successfully load my video adapter specific settings ?

The contents of /var/log/Xorg.0.log would be very useful in debugging this (read: necessary). If you have somewhere you can put them up for download (http or ftp), that'd be much preferable to mailing them to the list.
