I am currently running Debian 2.0 and during the setup I had succesfully setup the Xserver for my Matrox Millenium II video card (using XF86Setup and it successfully starts the server and provides a screen for me to run the video timing program and save the configuration file). When I run startx from the shell I get an error stating that the color depth was incorrect. I have tried all the available color depths and I know for a fact that 32 bpp works because I've run RH 5.1 on the same machine. Here is the error message:
----- error message ----- . . . (**) ET4000W32: Graphics device ID:"Primary Card" (**) ET4000W32: Minitor ID:"Primary Monitor" (**) FontPath set to "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc:unscaled, ..." (**) ET4000W32: Unsupported color depth (32) *** None of the configured devices were detected. *** Fatal server error: no screens found . . . _X11TransSocketUNIXConnect:Can't connect:errno=111 giving up. xinit: Connection refused (errno 111): unable to connect to X server xinit: No such process (errno 3): server error. ----- end of error message ----- Any help/suggestions would be great.
