I have very old hardware - a Motorola StarMax (Mac clone), with an ATI Mach64 VT video card. I have tried and tried, but whenever I try and startx, I lose all my locat tty terminals, and never get a graphic terminal. I can maintain a ssh connection, however, so the machine is not locked. I have pasted the entire Xorg.0.log file below. Any help is greatly appreciated.

To be honest, I failed to consider that 30K would be prohibitive. When I was on dial-up, I used Free Agent (PC software) to get the headers, and only retrieved the bodies of stuff I was interested in. However, the point is well taken - I consider myself scolded, and won't repeat the error. > You should comment the glx line out and try again. It's just one more > thing that can go wrong.

Post the Device stanza from your > xorg.conf file. I know that the 2 numbers don't match. What is odd is that, when I use 0:11:0, I get: Fatal server error: no screens found XIO: fatal IO error 104 (Connection reset by peer) on Z server ":0.0" after 0 requests (0 known processed) with 0 events remaining.

An early troubleshooting step. I saw references to AGP in the detected sections. The card is PCI.
