But how can I find the proper videomode? I tried the standard, 640x468x256, this setting should have worked, but it didn't work at all. Of course when I used startx. And when I configured using /Graphical X111 config, it was perfect, even in cases of higher resolutions (1024x768). The graphical screen appeared, without any errors. How it is possible to preserve these settings for startx. What's the difference between the /stand/sysinstall's X-server initialization (which works), and the startx's initialization (which does not)? > See ur error log.

The previous is from the xdm-errors. It says that mode 1024x768 cannot be resolved. But where startx (or xinit, or xdm) looks for "1024x768" identifier in the file-system. How this information, 1024x768 is used starting the X-server. > try to start xdm in nodaemon mode to see what happened > in real time. Unfortunately nothing happened. You, see I want to backtrack the resolution of "1024x768". Maybe a file is missing from somewhere. Unfortunately I have no idea, what to do! Absolutely! So?
