Xwindows won't start!

Xwindows won't start!

Post by John » Sat, 27 Sep 1997 04:00:00



        I have just installed Red Hat Linux 4.2 to my 686 machine along with
XFree86 v3.3.1.  Linux starts up OK but when I go to start Xwindows by
typing 'startx', I get the message
"Not enough memory for requested virtual resolution (1600 x 1280)"
followed by
"A configured device found, but display modes could not be resolved".
        I have an ATI 3D Pro Turbo PC2TV video card (4MB) and when installing
Linux/Xwindows I selected the ATI Pro Turbo Driver.
        Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions that might resolve my problem?

What color depth are you using?  1600x1280 requires 2MB for 8-bit depth,
4MB for 16-bit, and 8 MB for 24-bit.  Check your configuration.
