Installation doubts

[grindstone]

Yeah, lspci sees 16M, X sees 4M. The guys 20-yr old XF86 config used vesa and fbdev and worked...they don't 20-some years later (my knees used to work 20 years ago, too). If we get lucky elsewhere, we can probably still steal that modeline later.

If we just listen to what X is telling us:

Code:

[    65.950] (II) The server relies on udev to provide the list of input devices.
    If no devices become available, reconfigure udev or disable AutoAddDevices.

Reinstall udev (eudev) and see if we can get the devices populated w/o trying by hand

sudo apt-get install --reinstall udev

And the second bit is to add this line:

Code:

Option "AutoAddDevices" "False"

inside the ServerFlags section at the top of /etc/X11/xorg.conf.in (presumably only if the udev thing worked to create card0 and if the error still persists, otherwise this may be counter-productive)

Boot, see what happens and let us know.
