I downloaded 4.0.1 from ftp.xfree86.org
and installed it then attempted to run it using Dave's
XF86config file the server spit this out:
XFree86 Version 4.0.1 / X Window System
(protocol Version 11, revision 0, vendor release 6400)
Release Date: 1 July 2000
If the server is older than 6-12 months, or if
your card is newer
than the above date, look for a newer version
before reporting
problems. (see http://www.XFree86.Org/FAQ)
Operating System: Linux 2.2.5-16 alpha [ELF]
Module Loader present
(==) Log file: "/var/log/XFree86.0.log", Time: Wed Nov

(==) Using config file: "/etc/X11/XF86Config"
Parse error on line 2 of section (null) in file

When reporting a problem related to a server crash,
please send
the full server output, not just the last messages.
This can be found in the log file
"/var/log/XFree86.0.log".
what's the problem here ?
thanks
