Mark, can you post a copy of "/var/log/XFree86.0.log"? Sometimes it can
give more of an indication of what is causing the driver to fail.

The contents of "/var/log/XFree86.0.log" are as below:

XFree86 Version 4.1.0 / X Window System
(protocol Version 11, revision 0, vendor release 6510)
Release Date: 2 June 2001
 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)
Build Operating System: SuSE Linux [ELF] SuSE
Module Loader present
(==) Log file: "/var/log/XFree86.0.log", Time: Thu Mar 13 16:53:46 2003
(==) Using config file: "/etc/X11/XF86Config"
Parse error on line 1 of section (null) in file /etc/X11/XF86Config
 "" is not a valid keyword in this section.
(EE) Problem parsing the config file
(EE) Error from xf86HandleConfigFile()

Fatal server error:
no screens found

I will try adding "vga=791" (1024x768) to the first line of
/etc/X11/XF86Config later tonight and see what happens!

Mark
