It's too big. So I send one after the other. > OK. This time the whole logs (of "XFree86 -configure" first): These logs show a couple of different, but potentially related, problems. So let's start with the first one that occurs (PCI mis-detection). First off, what's in this machine (CPU, etc.)? I'll hazard a guess that it's a 386SX or 486SX (the ones without an integrated math coprocessor) with a separate Weitek math coprocessor. Furthermore, it has no PCI bus. Is that correct? Secondly, add 'Option "PciOsConfig"' in the ServerFlags section of the XF86Config you managed to generate. Then reboot and try again. Please let me know what happens, good or bad. Thanks.
