I just complete an install of 2.6.9-11.EL i686 On reboot, I get a couple of minor errors: smartd [FAILED] (not sure what this is)
and then an error saying that no X server could be started (I installed using the graphical install and selected 'everything' as a first-time install)
The error states: (EE) VIA(0): No valid modes found. According to the detail output, VIA seems to get loaded ok, then funs through every possible video mode and fails with the following two lines repeated for each mode: (II) VIA(0): Not using default mode "320x240" (bad mode clock/interface/doublescan) (II) VIA(0): Not using default mode "320x240" (hsync out of range) according to the output, it successfully reads a DEL Model 7004, and gives a max h-image size of horz 31, vert 23 . (it's a 15" display).
I'm not sure how to track this down. Any input is appreciated.

What type of computer is it(what's the hardware inside, video card etc)?
Smartd is a disk health monitoring tool. It doesn't work well with SATA drives yet, or SCSI drives, so if you have one of these, you can safely ignore/disable it. As for why X isn't starting, I'm not sure. it should prompt you to configure it at first boot. Its possible that it can't load the proper modules, but we'd need specifics to know for sure.

And if you have IDE, it may just be that smart is disabled in the computer's BIOS so smartd has nothing to communicate with.
The box is an Ultra LP-U266 (3Ghz Intel P4 w/1Gb ram) The controllers are VIA Technologies. Specifically, the video is VIA VT8378 [S3 UniChrome ]
Thanks for a reply, this is giving me a headache!

Quick suggestion: google for
VIA VT8378 xorg.conf
I get a lot of hits, but I didn't peruse them all. If you can find someone who's posted an xorg.conf that works for that controller, then perhaps you can just copy it to /etc/X11/xorg.conf and see what happens. (note: mouse & keyboard is also configured in xorg.conf, so it's possible you'll change those in the process. save your original xorg.conf for comparison.) Or failing that, maybe you'll find something that helps you edit yours with the correct "device" section.
