[CF]  I installed a Debian 2.2 with kernel 2.2.18 and XFree86 3.3.6 and the
display worked well.

[CF]  I think the answer is in the log file:
[...snip snip...]

[CF]  ...something seems wrong with the refresh (0 Hz?!), and I think you
should correct the configuration file (as you tried), but I think there's
something more:
[...snip snip...]

[CF]  [...snip snip...]

[CF]  Are you sure about the 1024x768 modeline? On my i1200 the display can
do 800x600 at best.
I think you should try to lower the resolution and then let us know...

Bye.   Cesare.

I am going to despair with my the X =
Server and with a girl too but
 ok thats off topic here. This X thing =
does not want to run.
 [CF]&nbsp; Girls are never off topic&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; =
;^)

I am using a i1200 with RH7.0 as the =
base system. I installed
 kernel 2.4.3 and XFree86 4.0.2 and =
the update to 4.0.3.
 [CF]&nbsp; I installed a Debian 2.2 with kernel 2.2.18 =
and XFree86 3.3.6 and the display worked well.

After running #startx I always get a =
line in /var/log/XFree.log
 &quot;no screens found&quot;.
 [CF]&nbsp; I think the answer is in the log file:
