Re: Advice for troubleshooting X (total screen loss) -- Newb Alert

Thanks for the help so far, everyone.

I have retried using both of the generic drivers. Now I'm getting a
fatal server error -- no screens found.
Still not working, but at least it's enough to start me on further
research.

The monitor in question is an Acer 22" lcd, if anyone out there has
any experience with these.


Can you post your xorg.conf and the file /var/log/Xorg.0.log?


As requested I have attached my xorg.conf and Xorg.0.log files. I'm
attaching the conf and log files which occurred using the nv driver,
although I get the same results (near as I can tell) when using the vga
driver.
You can also see that I've disabled glx output and restricted screen
resolution to 1024x768 or lower (non-widescreen resolutions) in the hope
that this might help, but no luck so far.

To keep the message length down I have attached these files instead of
copied the text. Hope this doesn't violate any mailing list etiquette
rules.

Haven't gotten the box to recognize the monitor yet, although I did manage
to get the mouse configured correctly thanks to mdetect. Is it unusual to
have to require root privileges to open /dev/psaux ? I couldn't cat that
device file on my usual login, and mdetect could not discover it without
being run as root.
