- Summary: X startup errors
- Keywords: Trident, X, SIOCGIFCONF

- I am a new Linux user trying to configure X to boot up my
- Trident TVGA8900c card. I read the FAQ and followed the suggestions for
- the the card. However, I still get the following errors when I start
- up X:
- - A "no SIOCGIFCONF" error first thing when X attemps to start
- - A "Trident driver only supports TVGA8900C" error, followed by
- a "None of the configured devices was detected" error.
- Then, X dies and I get a fatal server error.
-
- Could someone please help me with figuring out what these errors mean.
- Thanks,
-
