From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0 Description of problem: Fedora Core 3 is unable to run X. "fatal server error: no screens found." My nVidia card has a RIVA-128ZX chip, which worked fine under Fedora Core 2. The current driver can't configure a screen for RIVA128. The log file directs me to http://wiki.X.Org, which is down today. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install Fedora Core 3 2. Boot at runlevel 3 or 5 3. Startx fails: "fatal server error: no screens found" Actual Results: Non-graphic screen presents login prompt.

I have the same issue, with an ASUS 5950. If I start with runlevel 5 I get the same issue and I have to say no to xconfig trying to corrrect the issue then just reinstall the nvidia driver and it will startx. If I start in run level 3 everything works fine. If it does fail initially in runlevel 3 I just have to reinstall the nvidia driver and from then on its good. Run level 5 is just messing things up for me.
Sounds like a bug in our config tool perhaps, rather than the 'nv' driver. The driver is saying "I don't support 16bpp" so I assume that our config tool is trying to configure it to use 16bpp, which causes it to complain. In this case, it's not a bug that the driver does not support 16bpp, it is the lack of the 16bpp feature. 16bpp will never be supported on this chip in the xorg driver, so our config tool must make sure to never configure 16bpp on this chip if the driver does not support it. Please attach the X server log file from the failed startup, and the config file that was created during installation as individual uncompressed file attachments using the link below. If you do not have the original config, you can regenerate it with "system-config-display --reconfig". Once you've attached these files, I will review them to see if there is any other obvious bug. I'll reassign to the config tool if it seems clear to me that there's no video driver bug. Thanks in advance.
Mike-- I don't know what you mean by "the config file," but I'm attaching Xorg.0.log and Xorg.setup.log from /var/log. If Xorg.setup.log isn't the file you need, please tell me the filename I should be looking for.

I got this when I installed Fedora Core too, on a system with a Viper V330 (Riva 128 based). I have circumvented the problem by editing /etc/X11/xorg.conf. Where the file originally had: Section "Screen" Identifier "Screen0" Device "Videocard0" Monitor "Monitor0" DefaultDepth 16 SubSection "Display" Viewport 0 0 Depth 16 Modes "800x600" "640x480" EndSubSection EndSection I changed it to read: Section "Screen" Identifier "Screen0" Device "Videocard0" Monitor "Monitor0" DefaultDepth 24 SubSection "Display" Viewport 0 0 Depth 24 Modes "1152x864" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480" EndSubSection EndSection
Tim-- That did the trick. I edited xorg.conf as you did, changing DefaultDepth and Depth to 24 and adding "1152x864" and "1024x768" to Modes. I'm now logged in, using X. Thanks for the tip.
I can confirm this problem. After installation opon booting into Fedora Core 3 the system runs upto decompressing initrd at then hangs for approximately an hour. Then the system continues and finally X.org wont boot. Editing /etc/X11/xorg.config as suggested in <a href="https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=140186#c5"comment #5</a> and then running init 3 followed by init 5 solves the problem. However there is still the problem (for me) of the system taking an hour between decompressing initrd and running the rest of the system. System is a PII 300 on LX based motherboard with a Riva128 based graphics card.
