X won't start
I recompiled my kernel today (minor changes) and after installing
the new version, when I try to start X, I get:
...

(**) XKB: types: "default"
(**) XKB: compat: "default"

Fatal server error:
No valid modes found.
When reporting a problem related to a server crash, please send
the full server output, not just the last messages
_X11TransSocketUNIXConnect: Can't connect: errno = 111
giving up.
xinit: Connection refused (errno 111): unable to connect to X server
xinit: No such process (errno 3): Server error.
I have no idea what caused this. /etc/X11/XF86Config hasn't changed and
ran fine for a couple of years. I reinstalled the old kernel and it made
no difference. I'm running potato, kernel 2.2.10 on a K6-2/350 with 64
MB ram. It's a generic video card with a Cirrus 5430 chip.
I have no idea where the 22.778 MHz maximum dot-clock line came from.
Any ideas?
