StarKnight83,

I have the same problem on my iMac DV Special edition. Here is what happens. After running Xautoconfig I run startx and get the following errors:

Parse error on line 57 of section Monitor in file /etc/X11/XF86Config
The Vert Refresh keyword must be followed by a list of the numbers or ranges.
(EE) Problem parsing the config file
(EE) Error parsing the config file

Fatal server error:
no screens found

imac 500mhz g3 1 gig of ram
+LaCie ext firewire 40 gig

thanks for your reply........



Im trying to install 4.1 now on a firewire lacie 40gig external drive.
It does fatal error just after starting anaconda?
I redownloaded (ydl4.1) 3 time, just in case. But always the same error.

Wen i try to install in safe or text mode, at partition time, it does not regonize my firewire hd. ( its just not there? )

***************************************************

PS: is there a 4.1.1 coming up :D

Problem in XF86Config

Postby neojd78 » 16 Aug 2006, 14:43

For some reason YD 4.1 wasn't able to accurately probe my video card - had to manually edit the Xf86Config file located in /etc/11/

Google emacs commands so you have them handy and then check somewhere around line 56 to make sure your VertRefresh has numbers in there.
