I was able to remotely log into the machine (ssh) and ran the following command: Xorg -configure The resulting config file contains weird information: >>> Section "Monitor" #DisplaySize 330 250 # mm Identifier "Monitor0" VendorName "CPQ" ModelName "COMPAQ S700" HorizSync 30.0 - 70.0 HorizSync 876034368.0 - 0.0 (??) VertRefresh 50.0 - 0.0 (??) Option "DPMS" EndSection <<< When running the test: X -xf86config /home/fdb/xorg.conf.new it complains with: >>> Markers: (--) probed, (**) from config file, (==) default setting, (++) from command line, (!!) notice, (II) informational, (WW) warning, (EE) error, (NI) not implemented, (??) unknown. (==) Log file: "/var/log/Xorg.0.log", Time: Mon Sep 6 08:43:41 2004 (++) Using config file: "/home/fdb/xorg.conf.new" Parse error on line 51 of section Monitor in file /home/fdb/xorg.conf.new The HorizSync keyword must be followed by a list of numbers or ranges. (EE) Problem parsing the config file (EE) Error parsing the config file Fatal server error: no screens found <<< Strange thing is that the /etc/X11/xorg.conf - file seems to contain correct information for the screen: >>> Section "Monitor" Identifier "Monitor0" VendorName "Monitor Vendor" ModelName "Compaq S700 Color Monitor" DisplaySize 330 250 HorizSync 30.0 - 70.0 VertRefresh 50.0 - 160.0 Option "dpms" EndSection <<< Please run the following command:
system-config-display --reconfig
After this, try to start the X server, and attach your X server
log and config file to the bug report using the bugzilla file
attachment feature.
Thanks in advance.

file :: /usr/share/system-config-display/xconf.py
This is the file the command "system-config-display --reconfig"
complained about.
I ran the command, it returned this error:
[mail: ~] root# system-config-display --reconfig
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/share/system-config-display/xconf.py", line 412, in ?
hardware_state.merge_into(xconfig)
NameError: name 'hardware_state' is not defined

TAR file containing "grub.conf" and "xorg.conf" files
The files have been modified; I am not completely sure which part makes it
work, however with these 2 files I got a working graphical environment
(800/600).
Please attach non-compressed files so they can be viewed in a web browser. Thanks in advance. Created attachment 103816 [details]
grub.conf boot file
By request the text version of "grub.conf"
Created attachment 103817 [details]
xorg.conf file
By request the text version of xorg.conf
