    I just installed Fedora Core 1 as a clean install. When I try to start X using the PowerVR drivers for my graphics card (which I downloaded and installed), I see the following error in my XFree86.0.log file:

    (++) using VT number 7
     
     
    Fatal server error:
    xf86OpenConsole: Cannot open virtual console 7 (Input/output error)

    I have never seen this problem in the past. I used to run Red Hat 9.0 and I also built the drivers by hand. I have attached my XF86Config file in case that is needed.

    Thanks,

    Jeremiah McElroy
