Some time ago I posted the specs of a computer I was going to buy and wanted to know whether or not it was Linux compatible.
MSI KM3M-V BULK S-A VGA/LAN
AMD Box Sempron 2400+ 333 256kB
MAXTOR 40GB U133 7200rpm 2MB
TWINMOS 512 MB PC2700 DDR333
some DVD (not specified which type)
Now, I had some trouble with this and that, but I managed to survive the smoke test. Currently the system is up and running, however for some reason I can't get Xorg to work with my videocard.
modules I loaded:
via-agp
agpgart
xorgconfig:
VESA generic option
128MB RAM (though I don't really know how much RAM the vid has)
Error startx gives me:
XIO: fatal IO error 104 (connection reset by peer) on X server ":0.0" after 0 requests (0 known processed) with 0 events remaining
X Window System Version 6.8.0
Release Date 8 September 2004
X Protocol Version 11, Revision 0, Release 6.8
Build Operating System: Linux 2.6.9 i686 [ELF]
Current OS: Linux yume 2.6.9 #1 Wed Nov 3 19:17:36 CET 2004 i686

(WW) Open APM failed (/dev/apm_bios) (no such file or directory)
(II) Module ABI versions:

X.Org XInput Driver: 0.7
X.Org Server Extension: 0.2
X.Org Font Renderer: 0.4
(II) Loader running on Linux
(II) LoadModule: "bitmap"
(II) loading /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/fonts/libbitmap.a
Duplicate symbol __686.get_pc_thunk.bx in /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/libbitmap.a:bitma
Also defined in /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/fonts/libbitmap.a
Fatal Server error:
Module load failure
I first tried it with every APM option built in the kernel, to no avail. Disabling APM in the kernel gave me the same error.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance...
