Hi, Can anyone help me with this? Also, if there's any place where I can search for experiences from people who've had similar problems, could you direct me to it? Of course, direct help is always better :) Thanks, Tarek nabil ------------------------------ Message: 7 Date: Sat, 22 May 2004 19:00:03 +0400 From: "Tarek M.

Actually, the problem is I cannot start X at all. It keeps trying several times and then it gives me the error dialogues. I will paste as many information here as I can, but at the same time trying not to flood the list with un-needed logs. >From the XFree86.0.log (I will not paste the whole file, just the part where I think the error has occurred): (EE) I810(0): No Video BIOS modes for chosen depth.
