salut tout le monde !    
ca va faire un moment que j'essaye d'installer slackware 10 sur mon portable DELL latitude C400
pour ne plus avoir de probleme, j'ai fait l'installation compléte de tous les packages.
mais lorsque je lance avec la commande startx, ca beugue    
je vous met les lignes de cmd avec des erreurs:
 
(EE) VESA(0): No Matching Modes
(EE) Screen(s) found but none have a usable configuration.
 
Fatal server error:
no screens found
 
please also check the log file at "/var/log/Xorg.O.log" for additional infotmation.
 
XIO: fatal error 104 (connection reset by peer) on X server ":0.0"
     after 0 request (0 know pro cessed) with 0 events remaining.
 
je sais oas si c'est tres clair, mais j'ai l'impression que c'est un probleme au niveau carte graphique.
 
voila si qq pouvait m'aider, merci
 
la config du porrtable:

Faut configurer ton écran, c'est tt .
 
Ça se passe ds le fichier /etc/X11/xorg.conf.
 
Sandra : c'est quoi ce truc avec tes fontes ttes moches .

merci je m'en doutait    
mais où ds ce fichu fichier?
 
pour la font c pour opimiser le portable

je l'ai chercher ce fichier mais je le trouve pas

mirtouf : Xorg -> cf le message d'erreur

Où ça ?

-> "please also check the log file at "/var/log/Xorg.O.log" for additional infotmation"

le fichier a édite est /etc/X11/xorg.conf
pour cela un petit

suffira.
 
Il faut que dans "monitor section" tu renseigne les champs :
HorizSync :
VertRefresh :

j'ai reussi a recupere le fichier xorg

# This XF86Config file is designed for use with the VESA framebuffer.
# This generic interface should work with nearly all video cards

mais tu n'as pa renseigné les champs HorizSync et VertRefresh avec les valeurs appropriées. Pour les trouvers, google est ton ami.

pour HorizSync j'ai mis 30 - 64 et pour VertRefresh 60
mais ca marche toujours pas      

HorizSync 30-110
VertRefresh 60-110
 
Voila tes valeurs. Et tu exagère un peu il m'as fallut moins d'une minutes pour les trouvés. T'aurais pu y mettre un peu du tien.

C bien parceque c'est pour une slack va

j'ai aussi essayer avec celles là

essaye en remplaçant ta section Graphics device section par celle ci :

c'est pas une ati ma CG c une intel 82830M

ben g trouver cette page qui avait l'air de correspondre http://open.bsdcow.net/config/mach [...] itude-l400 t sur que c pas le chipset graphique de ta carte mère sa ?

et encore toi tu as eu de la chance, moi j'ai mis 6 mois pour les trouver mes valeurs HorizSync et VertRefresh  

merci en tout cas
