Hi, Im a relative neewb (1 month) to linux, and have just reinstalled XFree86 in an attempt to get TV in working. I installed version 4.4.0 because I didn't realise there was a 4.5 version. I am now stuck with a command promt. I would give u my error file if I knew how to get that. Please tell me how I can get the error file to this address. I am using a different computer so I also need to know how to copy this file to a floppy disk when I find it. Heres what I know about the computer: Fedora Core 3, on verything install and updated today Build operating system : Linux 2.4.18-14 i686 Kernel 2.6.10-1.770_FC3 ATI Rage 128 all in wonder pro 32mb PIII 450mhz 20GB HD 192mb ram After the descriptions of markers(eg (EE) (==) etc), here is the output: (==) Log file: "/var/log/XFree86.0.log", Time: Thu Mar 31 19:45:09 2005 (EE) Unable to locate/open config file xf86AutoConfig : Primary PCI is 1:0 Running "/usr/X11R6/bin/getconfig -X 40400000 -I /ect/X11,/usr/X11R6/etc getconfig.pl: Version 1.0. getconfig.pl:XFree86 Vresion: 4.4.0.0 getconfig.pl: 23 built in rules -------------and so on for many more getconifg.pl, and then New driver is "ati" (==) Using default built-in configoration (53 lines) (EE) open /dev/fb0: No such file or directory (EE) R128(0): No DFP detected (EE) <defult pointer>: Cannot find which device to use.
