Could not find Config file! - Tried: /root/XF86Config /etc/XF86Config /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/XF86Config.linux /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/XF86Config
Fatal Server Error: No Config File Found!
On my system (with 4.0.2) it is at /etc/X11/XF86Config. There is a symbolic link to it. The old one is at /etc/XF86Config, and it is confusing X. FIRST copy it to a backup cp /etc/XF86Config /etc/XF86Config.BAK SECOND, remove the old one rm /etc/XF86Config THIRD, make the symbolic link to the new on ln -s /etc/X11/XF86Config /etc/XF86Config To configure your X server, neither sax nor sax2 nor any other nice stuff works. As root use xf86config4. It is not pretty; it's all text but it will work. Main point in configuring your Radeon, is to write the file to /etc/X11/XF86Config [default] AND THEN CHECK IT. For a r128 chip Card to work there is only one entry that must be present. In Section "Device", you should see Driver "r128"; if you see Driver "ati", or anything else, change it to "r128". This driver takes advantage of its capabilities. When X starts up, it will probe "r128" and set all the other values. Good Luck.
