Hi there,
=09I am using 4.0.3 wth Geforce 2 MX, which version are you using? You co=
uld=20
try using this with 4.0.3.
XFree86 -configure
- -configure
When this option is specified, the X server loads
all video driver modules, probes for available
hardware, and writes out an initial XF86Config(5)
file based on what was detected. This option cur-
rently has some problems on some platforms, but in
most cases it is a good way to bootstrap the con-
figuration process. This option is only available
when the server is run as root (i.e, with real-uid
0)
I hope this helps.
