I'm not sure of the format, as I sent the error message I receive when
attempting to run X on my XFree86 Version 3.3.6a in an earlier email, but
no real explanation (it was also sent from another email address I have
w/hotmail :o) ). When ever I attempt to run X on my linux box I get the
following (error) message:
XFree86 Version 3.3.6a / X Window System
(protocol Version 11, revision 0, vendor release 6300)
Release Date: April 19, 2001
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/FAQ)
Operating System: Linux 2.4.7-0.13.1smp i686 [ELF]
Configured drivers:
S3: accelerated server for S3 graphics adaptors (Patchlevel 0)
newmmio, mmio_928, s3_generic
(using VT number 7)
XF86Config: /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/XF86Config
(**) stands for supplied, (--) stands for probed/default values
(--) no ModulePath specified using default: /usr/X11R6/lib/modules
dbe: Unknown error loading module
Config Error: /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/XF86Config:48
SubSection "extmod"
^^^^^^^^^^^
Module section keyword expected
[blakman2@localhost blakman2]$
Fatal server error:
Child error writing to pipe (Broken pipe)
Now, I'm extremely new to Linux, and am currently teaching myself on a
Linux box provided by a friend. I am running an old PB Pentium 120. I'm
really not sure what other info I would need to supply in order to
successfully run X. Please help......
