Sorry for the piggyback but I missed the orig... I've also seen this error when the video card has been set to another mode (through NT mostly) then I softboot into Linux. The X server wil report this error because it can't set the card to the mode it wants to see. If I power down, power back up it and go directly to Linux the X server starts up fine. This could be a symptom of a video card going bad too... FWIW. Bill On Thu, 19 Aug 1999, Teonanacatl wrote: >The error message is that there are no valid modes found.
