What might cause the following error in the xdm-errors file?
XFree86 Version 1.1 / X Window System
(protocol Version 11, revision 0, vendor release 5000)
Configured drivers:
VGA256 (256 colour SVGA):
et4000, et3000, pvga1, gvga, ati, tvga8900
Fatal server error:
Cannot open /dev/vga (errno=6)
error (pid 95): Server for display :0 terminated unexpectedly: 1
The /dev/vga is there! Am I missing something obvious? I did your basic
binary install from the XFree86 core distribution.
