XF86Config-4 fault No Screens found

[Guest bcurry]

I'm installing on a new Dell Optiplex with integrated intel video (845).

 

All the information follows. I hope someone can help, I'm trying to set up a small file server with MDK and have told the bosses around here that it wouldn't be too hard.

 

Here is my XF86Config-4:

 

# File generated by XFdrake.

# By default, Mandrake 6.0 and later now use a font server independent of

# the X server to render fonts.

Section "ServerFlags"

#DontZap # disable <Crtl><Alt><BS> (server abort)

Go to a terminal, log in as root (su ) and try running XFdrake --expert

Thanks, that at least got me into X.

 

I can only use 640x480 @ 8bits though. I can't get an entire window onto the monitor screen so I can't see any of the buttons on the bottom of any of them. It won't allow me to re-size windows either.

 

I'm using an Intel 82845 GL on-board video and a Dell 551a 15 inch monitor. I really dislike integrated video and sound, but we use what the company buys and in this case, they just got 25 of these machines.

 

Working in Mandrake Control Center-Hardware, I can try to change the settings, but it always tells me that the monitor can't handle anything above the current 640x480@8bits.

 

I'm at a bit of a loss.

[Guest bcurry]

I at least figured out how to move the windows around.

 

I'm going to try Mandrake update to see if there are any XFree86 updates.
