Hi,
I have the problem that I cannot startx and the xorg-server gives the message:
(EE) No devices detected
Fatal server errors:
no screens found.
What does this really mean? I was using my xorg.conf successfully with versions of xorg-server < 1.5 but since I upgraded to the latest version I always run into this problem.
Any help is appreciated.
Here is the output from /var/log/Xorg.0.log

Hi,
After some googling I ended up adding the following line to one of my devices in xorg.conf:
BusID "PCI:0:2:0"
This helps to identify the graphics card (I have two).
After this small change startx works again. However, I am still not sure if everything is properly set-up now especially with respect the xorg-server > 1.5 version...
