When I run Xconfigurator I get the error:

ERROR: There is a problem with your X configuration.

I upgraged from 7.0 to Wolverine because my sound card
(Maestro3) was not supported under 7.0

I tried to install wolverine and I get the same problem
when I test the display

This is a dell laptop CPxJ the lap top screen works fine
but the external Sun monitor will not work

Hor sync: 30-96 kHz
Ver sync: 48-160 Hz

Comment 1 Preston Brown 2001-03-27 16:54:40 UTC
external monitors don't work with ATI Mobility chipsets in XFree86 4.0.2 
unless you add the option "crt_screen" to the ATI Device section in 
/etc/X11/XF86Config-4.  Talking to the driver author, this is was to avoid 
panel damage in the current driver; XFree86 4.0.0 did things in an unsafe way, 
so while it worked, it was dangerous for the health of some panels.
