I have tried every card (I think) listed and I have not had any luck with virtual pc.
If anybody out there knows what it takes to configure the startx for the virtual pc environment I would be interested. I know that it works, as I had it running with Knoppix at one time. Unfortunately my knoppix disk got a big scratch and I have not downloaded it again.
I have been using dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86 to try to set this up.
Does "lspci" give you any indication as to what video chipset is detected?

Hi,
I hope this is the place for newbie questions...
I am trying to install Debian on Virtual PC 5.2 (on a wintel box)
The first part of the install works fine, but I am having trouble
getting X-Windows to work. I have edited the XF86Config file
to use the s3 driver, but I think I have made a mistake somewhere.
The output from startx (or at least the last part of the output)
is:
(II) S3VIRGE: driver (version 1.6.13) for S3 ViRGE chipsets: virge,
86C3
virge vx, 86C988, virge dx, virge gx, 86C375, 86C385, virge
gx2,
86C357, virge mx, 86C260, virge mx+, 86C280, trio 3d, 86C365,
trio 3d/2x, 86C362, 86C368
(--) Assigning device section with no busID to primary device
(EE) No devices detected.
Fatal server error:
no screens found
I can't figure out if this means that the driver is not detecting the
video card, or whether it means I have made a mistake in the
configuration
file. Any help on this would be appreciated.
Adelle.
