Hi!
I'm having some trouble with xorg 7.0 . But firstly, I'm using the 2.4 kernel, and udev (I know, stupid combination, but xorg 7 depends on it). I don't know if this is the cause of the problem, but if not, then please can you help me fix xorg. Heres my xorg.conf:

well, posting your /var/log/Xorg.0.log would be useful if xorg 7.0 still puts it there. Another thing is the xorg server actually starting and staying at a black screen or is it dumping you back to the terminal with an error? Also It seems you are using the 2.4 kernel because its stable? Why would you not want to stick with xorg in current then?

I've changed the driver from vga and the r128 to ati (I found out that I shoud do this on google), and now it at least dumps me back into the command line. [ I have edited the xorg.conf in my orriginal post to show the changes and remove comments ].
Anyway, heres my error log:

The error states something about identifier:

Identifier and driver
Identifier "Mouse1"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "Auto" # Intellimouse PS/2 IMPS/2
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"

EndSection
I can see two Identifier things in that section, the top line of the section should be either commented or removed.

Ok, I have removed "Identifier and driver", and now I get another error. The Xorg.0.log file is huge, but the only (EE) error in there is this:
(EE) r128(0) No DFP detectedOffline
You should start xorgconfig to generate xorg.conf, don't try to build it yourself if you are not sure what you are doing..
After that startx and show full log.
(the problem I had after xorgconfig was mouse device name, needed to change it to /dev/input/mouse0)

Thats what I did to begin with, but there was tonnes of errors. So I searched the forums and fixed most of them from other peoples suggestions. Shall I do it again anyway?

If it helps, DFP is Digital Flat Pannel.

Tell us more about these errors. xorgconfig should work

Ok, well the errors were things like an input mouse error and getting the wrong driver (vga instead of ati) + a few others. To be honest, I can't remember exactly. Either way, I have isolated this porblem now and I know whats wrong. Heres a quote from man r128:
Option "Display" "string"
Select display mode for devices which support flat panels. Supported modes are:"FP" - use flat panel;
"CRT" - use cathode ray tube;
"Mirror" - use both FP and CRT;
"BIOS" - use mode as configured in the BIOS.
The default is FP.
However, I have put this in as - Option "Display" "CRT" and I still get the same error. This may be because the r128 driver has been encorporated into the ati driver.

I still think you just should run xorgconfig, I believe it will not use vga driver when you select correct card!
Mouse is different problem, because it's related to your /dev subsystem.

Ok, I've just re-run xorgconfig and it got the graphics driver (r128 this time apparently). I'm still getting exactly the same error :-(. Could this just be an xorg 7.0 bug? I have specifically done what the man r128 page says to do so that it uses a CRT monitor, to no avail.

This is how I resolved this issue with a ATI Rage 128 (32MB) experiencing the same "(EE) r128(0) No DFP detected" error:
-install xorg
-install the xfree86 package
-run xorgconfig and select the r128 (option 7 or 8?) driver during the config
-set the Option "Display" "FP" in your xorg config file (right below the driver=r128 entry)
-install the twm package
-add 'exec twm' to the /home/user/.xinitrc configuration file (without single quotes)
-startx as user (not root!)
