Line 23, you have: X_MODE_0 = 1024x768 800x600 That's not a valid mode entry. If you want to specify 2 modes, you need: X_MODE_0 = 1024x768 X_MODE_1 = 800x600 The way you have it will definately cause the error that you showed. I suspect this has been causing much of the trouble that you are seeing. Jim.

You'd need 'vesa' (LOWERCASE). If that doesn't work, you could try the older XFree86 3.3.6 drivers. To do that, you'd preface the name of the driver with 'XF86_'. Probably a good choice would be: XSERVER = "XF86_SVGA" If you continue getting the 'Parse error', it would be interesting to see what is at line 60 of the XF86Config.1 file. To do that, try setting: SCREEN_01 = shell THen, reboot the terminal. You should get a bash prompt. At that point, type 'startx', and it should attempt to launch the Xserver. It will likely fail and return you to the shell. Then, you can go look at the file in /tmp.

Only in this environment would there be the concern and dedication herein expressed. I'd love to see anything like this from M$ !! :-D For those interested the problem resided in having an extra parameter in the <pre wrap=""> X_MODE_0 = 1024x768 X_MODE_1 = 800x600 statements, seems that only one can be configured in the lts.conf file when dealing with older hardware. In this case Compaq Deskpro P-I 75-166 Mhz, some worked other gave the fatal Xserver error. With the help of Jim & Eric I was able to resolve this annoying problem. Kudos to all in this great group. thanks norbert </pre> </body> </html>
