Hi everybody
i am still messing up with my X-prob on my laptop:
when i enter: startx the systems (Red Hat 7.3 - with XFree86 4.2.0) seems to load the Xserver but the screen keeps black. Afterward i am not able to change to another console by pressing ctrl + f1...
this is what my XF86Config looks like:

I have already tried mkfontdir' on "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/local/
but that hasn't changed anything. This folder is empty!!!
I have also checked if everything is installed proberly. every thinkable XF* packet is installed. Also all fonts...
if try the following: XF86_SVGA -xf86config XF86config
then this error occurs:
Quote:
XF86Config: /root/XF86Config
(**) stands for supplied, (--) stands for probed/default values
(--) no ModulePath specified using default: /usr/X11R6/lib/modules
type1: Unknown error loading module
