- So, I'm willing to admit defeat. I'm trying to install Xfree on my system at
- work. If I don't comment out the clocks line, the system goes to black and
- white and hangs (reset button time). If I do comment out the clocks line, I
- get the following:
-
- no SIOCGIFCONF
- XFree86 Version 1.0Ya / X Window System
- (protocol Version 11, revision 0, vendor release 5000)
- Configured drivers:
- VGA256 (256 colour SVGA):
- et4000, et3000, pvga1, gvga, ati, tvga8900
- ATI BIOS Information Block:
- Signature code: 31 = VGA WONDER
- Chip version: 5 = ATI 28800-5
- BIOS version: 0.1
- Byte at offset 0x42 = 0x11
- Byte at offset 0x44 = 0x4c
-
- This video adapter is a: VGA WONDER PLUS (V6)
- Amount of RAM on video adapter: 1024k
-
- ATI driver requires "clocks" to be set in Xconfig!
-
- *** None of the configured devices was detected.***

-
- Fatal server error:
- no screens found
-
- giving up.
- xinit: Invalid argument (errno 22): unable to connect to X server
- xinit: No such process (errno 3): Server error.

-
- Can someone help? My Xconfig file is posted below.
- Feel free to flame away. I'll take any input. Thanks in advance.

- # These aren't very good choices as the refresh rates are 59 Hz and 57 Hz,
- # respectively. They were created while testing the driver and were intended
- # to be as true to the standard VGA modes as possible (as I was trying to
- # follow the programming examples in the ATI Programmer's Ref. Manual, to get
- # something working, which I could use as a base). 640x480 should be identical

- # were computed using Chin Fang's tutorial (working backwards with a 36 Mhz
