hi, I installed Xfree86 4.5.0 and installation went well but when startx was run it loaded three consoles and a clock... I thoutght that that was a screen problem and changed the configuration of the video card - no improvement... then I installed xfree86 4.3.0 - that was the original , but nothing different happened. I cannot send you the log and config files cause I can't transfer them to MS Windows... here are the error messages: I run XFree86 -autoconfig too - no result (WW) NV (0) Failed to set up write-combining range (0x8000000,4x000000) waiting for X server to shut down: fatal I0 error 32 (Broken Pipe) or KillClient on X server "0:0" OS - Linux Mandrake 10.0 Community 2.6.3.mdk i686 Video - Nvidia Gefore-4 96 Ram __________________________________ Yahoo!
