I get the following messages when doing startx:
--

I have configured XF86Config with all the necessary parameters. The first line
in /etc/X11/Xserver file is the complete path to the XServer
(/usr/bin/X11/XF86_S3). I have also tried /usr/bin/X11/XF86_SVGA. SuperProbe
identifies the video card as S3 Trio64. The monitor is a Sony 100sx and I have
entered the correct parameters for it.
I'm at my wit's end and would appreciate some help.
Thanks in advance.
