The previous respondent mentioned that the /dev/vga error > from X is bogus. At first, I didn't have 'io' or 'mem' in my kernel config file, and xorg complained about missing /dev/io. So, not knowing that I needed 'mem', too, I added 'io' to my kernel config file and rebuilt/installed. After reboot, xorg then complained about missing /dev/vga. This stumped me, so I went to cvsweb and compared the GENERIC that my customer kernel was based on versus the latest GENERIC to see what "GENERIC" stuff I was missing. The only thing that was missing was 'mem'. So, I added mem, did the dance again, and now xorg works like a champ. FYI, even with 'io' and 'mem' in my kernel, there is still no /dev/vga, but xorg doesn't seem to mind anymore. HTH -- Mike perl -e 'print unpack("u","88V]N=&%C=\"!I;F9O(&EN(&AE861E<G,*");'
