Re: [LI] Not able to configure X

[Thirumani <stmani@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Anand and Suvendra,

I tried all the suggestions given by you.  But still I am stuck.  It is able
to remove all the mode lines which are not supported by the Fv and Fh ranges
that I supplied from the manual (Fh = 30-50 and Fv = 50-90).  I don't think
that is the problem.

When I started X the screen came up bright with just the cross mark for the
mouse - it moved when I moved the mouse.  After some time it came to the
prompt saying that X server is shut down.  The last line before that was
(**) SVGA: Disabled Graphics Engine

Please guide me what I should do now.

Thanks for your interest.

Thiru
