Re: an other "no screen" error...

Filippo, I'm on the xFree mailing list and I had the same 
problems with Mandrake 9.2 on my laptop. I have no idea why this happened on a 
fresh install. I checked the resolution in the GUI version of my config (after X 
decided to automatically change my resolution from 1024x768 to 800x600 on 
startup) and tried to change it back to 1024. It worked fine until I logged 
out,or shut down, and then I got the same error you're getting - again. X 
would repeat the whole process of changing the resolution! The only way I could 
get X to start with the proper resolution(that IT had originally picked on 
installation) was to make the changes on the command line version of the config 
panel. For some reason, I have found that certain things don't always "stick" 
when you make the attempt to change settings in the GUI.
Hope this helps :-) Jay.

  Subject:  an other "no screen" 
  error...

        Hi all,
        I've installed a Debian 3r woody 
        distribution into my linux partition and, when I try to run startx, 
        it gives me a  screen error, saying that  
        there're "screens found but do not have usable 
        configurations.".
        I know that's a frequent error, and 
        the only solution to resolve this problem is ask into this 
        mailinglist.

        Afterall there's no XF86Config 
        problem... I edited this one myself and used, also, the same one of the 
        my old Slackware dist (that worked, and now doesnt work). Then I'm 
        inclined to think that there're some problem of conflict... cause the 
        configuration of the display is right. Should be a conflict with xdm?? 
        That's what I think.. but I really dont know how to solve 
        this!
        Please help me ;)

        N.b: If someone want to look at the 
        config... I've attached it!
        Ty all

        F. Guarnieri
