The Vesa driver works fine with CentOS 4.4. I have an NVidia 6200 video adapter. I go to Applications | System Settings | Display | Hardware tab and find my video adapter in the list and set it. The dialog tells me I have to log out for it to take effect, so I duly do that. I then getting a message from a non-graphics screen saying that the attempt to switch to the video adapter failed. When I view why, amidst all the information given is the messages:
(EE) No devices detected. Fatal server error: No screens found
I am able to switch back to the Vesa driver through the non-graphics screen, and this brings me back to my graphics login and I am once again successfully in CentOS 4.4 using the Vesa driver.
Does anybody have any idea what the messages above mean or how I can correct it so it can successfully load my video adapter specific settings ?
The NVidia 6200 is definitely on the Hardware tab menu, that is my video adapter, and I have the latest Xorg updates for CentOS 4.4.
