Fatal Server Error: AddScreen/ScreenInit failed for driver 0

[blueteeth]

Hello folks,

Im using VPC with the BT4 live iso and it works, but when i type startx ill get this (with alot of other text crap):

Fatal Server Error: AddScreen/ScreenInit failed for driver 0

Now i think this must be something with the video/driver but is there any way to get around this? (searched google to the bone but couldnt find any working solution)

Please help me

have you tried the normal configurex and fix vesa commands? And have you setup your graphics driver properly?

Best bet is to download the appropriate linux display driver for your Graphic card as it will autoconfigure the xconfig having better resolution & eye-candy graphic or alternatively make a backup of xorg.conf & then edit the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file and set manually the Resolution,Refresh rate,Bit-Depth(according to your display specifications).also try with
fixvesa command(it will overwrite the original xorg.conf & the original one will be xorg.conf.backup)

Thanks for the sugestions.

I already switched to VMplayer but i still tryed the following in VPC:

(i btw forgot too say that i cant get into KDE, so im stuck with the "how more silent you become, the more you can hear" screen)

fixvesa: Fatal server error: No screens found
fixvmware: Fatal server error: No screens found
removed vga=0x317 text were you can edit the startup paremeters: Its gets black but again the same error.

all a no-go, maybe a driver will work but im not so sure.

Conclusion: Get vmplayer, get bt vm, get a USB adapter, done.

Thanks for you help

Grow a set, read the xorg.conf documentation and configure your xorg properly.

There are many examples out there, I posted one for BT3 for the Averatec 3250HX on the old bt3 wiki using the S3/Unichrome drivers. It will work, you've just got to be a lil' linux savvy.
