Okay, I'm running Fedora Core 5 with an nVidia geForce4MX card. I've got the latest drivers from livna. It's still not working.

Here's my xorg.conf:

# Option "XkbDisable"
# To customise the XKB settings to suit your keyboard, modify the

# Option "XkbModel" "pc102"
# If you have a US Microsoft Natural keyboard, you can use:
# Option "XkbModel" "microsoft"

# Option "XkbLayout" "de"
# Option "XkbVariant" "nodeadkeys"
#
# If you'd like to switch the positions of your capslock and

Any help would be appreciated, especially if it's of the "Complete Idiots for Dummies" kind. Otherwise, in my current state I cannot vouch for the safety of my neighbors... ;)

Check your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file. You should have a "DefaultDepth" line that reads:

CODE
DefaultDepth  "24"


If not, fix it.

It works! The voices have stopped! I face the world with renewed hope and vigor!

(Puts down the chainsaw, unties the neighbors, and sends them home with a cookie for each.)

Thank you!

And whats so amusing is that mine was at 24 the whole time. I broke it, then put it back to default and walah it worked.

I am running Xandos Premum with a Nvida GeForce 6200oc and also installed the latest driver
but am unable to run SL.
Here is the output when I run the program.

I'm also having the same problem. I have my graphics card's newest drivers, but when I open and search xorg.conf it doesn't seem to have a "DefaultDepth" line. This really unsettles me, because I don't know where to go from a blank at all.

Forgot to add that I'm running a PCLinuxOS. And I miss RedHat D:

This is what the xorg.conf reads. The error message I receive is the same as those above.
