No suitable X-Server found for Matrox G400
Hi!
I'm trying to boot Knoppix 3.2 2003-06-06-BETA from floppy/CD, but get the following error:
Starting X11... root@tty1 [/]#..
Retrying with Server XFree86(vesa)
Error: No suitable X-Server found for your card..
Retrying with Server XFree86(fbdev).
and a lot of blinking (problably trying to change displaymode?).
My card is a Matrox Millenium G400 AGP 32Mb. I can boot and run Knoppix 3.1 2003-01-20-BETA and Knoppix 3.2 2003-03-28-BETA without problems, but havent tried the intervening relases, so I don't know exactly when the problem has started.
My motherboard is an ASUS P5A with AMD K6-2 400 proc.
I can press Enter after the error and give the command "lspci -v", but I don't know how to redirect its output to a file on the floppy or my HD. So I can't give complete output of lspci, but the Graphics controller part says:
01:00.0
VGA compatible controller: Matrox Graphics, Inc. MGA G400 AGP (rev 03) (prog-if 00 [VGA])
Subsystem: Matrox Graphics, Inc. Millenium G400 32Mb SGRAM
Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 64, IRQ 11
Memory at e6000000 (32bit, prefetchable) [size=32M]
Memory at df800000 (32bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16K]
Memory at df000000 (32bit, non-prefetchable) [size=8M]
Expansion ROM at e5ff0000 [disabled][size=64K]
Capabilities: [dc] Power Management version 2
Capabilities: [f0] AGP version 2.0
This is my setup on the boot floppy, and it should be default values except for lang=en keyboard=da wheelmouse xkeyboard=dk:
DEFAULT vmlinuz
APPEND ramdisk_size=100000 init=/etc/init lang=en keyboard=da wheelmouse xkeyboard=dk apm=power-off hda=scsi hdb=scsi hdc=scsi hdd=scsi hde=scsi hdf=scsi hdg=scsi hdh=scsi vga=791 initrd=miniroot.gz nomce quiet BOOT_IMAGE=knoppix
Can anyone help?
Stig.
