Normally this error relates to the xorg.conf (or XF86Config) having either incomplete or wrong entries in the Screen section.

 

Post that section .. (file is normally in /etc/X11)

Quote:startx has always worked until now. I do not remember changing anything recently that would have caused this, but I get a "Fatal server error: no screens found" problem. I've got no clue what to do... I'm a noob as you can see 

Let me know what information would aid you guys in helping me

 

thanks,

I don't know what the forum policy is on posting log info but if you post your X server error log here someone might be able to help more. :) 

I'm not sure if Mandrake uses X.org of XFree86 but try looking for a file in /var/log with "0.log" in the name. That should or might be an error log that might contain more info regarding the problem you're now having.

 

Peace...
