+ Hi jayjwa. Thanks for the update. I am not sure what I should change.
The fbset -xfree86 gave me back: + open /dev/fb0: no such device.
That means you're not using a framebuffer. That's not directly related to getting your video card to work with X11 though. It was just something I used to help me figure out some values, since I was using the frame buffer on that machine.
Did you get the letter I sent awhile back? It was to your email and not the list, since this list is a bit slow arriving here (I only see about 1 or 2 a month). That email had more info in it and it may have been enough. If it wasn't and you're still having trouble, it would me (and others here) to have a bit more info on your machine. I think the heart of your trouble is your card needing a few kernel modules inserted for it to be able to be configured properly for X11. This was certainly the case with mine, and you seem to be using a similar card, if not the same one.
Some info which might help could be recorded and posted; if you still need help-
Cut this out and chmod 755 it, run it after rebooting the machine (so dmesg will show startup kernel messages).
#!/bin/sh ## If sh is really tcsh/csh ## this will look awful (tcsh ## actually says "-e" instead of ## interpeting it).
echo -e "Machine info for `uname -n` `date -R` \n\n" > /tmp/xfinfo.log echo -e "dmesg:" >> /tmp/xfinfo.log dmesg >> /tmp/xfinfo.log echo -e "\n\nlspci -v: " >> /tmp/xfinfo.log lspci -v >> /tmp/xfinfo.log echo -e "\n\nuname -a: " >> /tmp/xfinfo.log uname -a >> /tmp/xfinfo.log echo -e "\n\nLoaded kmods: " >> /tmp/xfinfo.log lsmod >> /tmp/xfinfo.log echo -e "\n\nAvailable kmods: " >> /tmp/xfinfo.log tree /lib/modules/`uname -r` >> /tmp/xfinfo.log echo -e "\n\nCurrent XF86Config in /etc/X11: " >> /tmp/xfinfo.log cat /etc/X11/XF86Config >> /tmp/xfinfo.log echo -e "\n\nAvailable X11 mods, drivers-dri: " >> /tmp/xfinfo.log ls /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers >> /tmp/xfinfo.log ls /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/dri >> /tmp/xfinfo.log gzip -9 -f /tmp/xfinfo.log echo "Done."
and send in xfinfo.log.gz out of /tmp
If you don't have "tree" you can use "ls -R" instead. I'm assuming your "echo" will give a newline with echo "\n" as well.
