It's hard to say without the log. Can you give us your generated x.org config and the output of Xorgautoconfig --dump?

I just solve the problem very luckily.
I think the trouble is in the Driver Xorgautoconfig setting in the xorg.conf
xorgautoconfig use the driver fbdev, but it doesnt work on the beige g3 with on-board display card Mach64
I use Xorg -configure to detect my display card driver and combine it with xorg.conf which the xorgautoconfig generated.
Then I can start the ugly twm
my xorgautoconfig dump
| Code: |
Dumping Debugging Information:
Machine ID: Power Macintosh
EDID Tag: APP5203
H-Min: 30 H-Max: 94 V-Min: 48 V-Max: 60
Card Dump:
Framebuffer Id: ATY Mach64
Framebuffer Type: 10
Framebuffer Depth: 15

The driver section Xorg -configure gen
| Code: |
Section "Device"
### Available Driver options are:-
### Values: <i>: integer, <f>: float, <bool>: "True"/"False",
### <string>: "String", <freq>: "<f> Hz/kHz/MHz"

EndSection
|
The driver section Xorgautoconfig gen
| Code: |
Section "Device"
Identifier "Card0"
# We couldn't determine the BusID of your video card. So we will use
# the fbdev driver
#Option "ShadowFB" "true"
#Option "fbdev" "/dev/fb0"
Driver "fbdev"
#BusID "0:0:0"
EndSection

maybe Xorgautoconfig can add this feature in it |

Yes, I wrote Xorgautoconfig, that's why I'm asking you these questions, so we can get it fixed. :)
Please try the latest Xorgautoconfig (the ~ppc version), I fixed something that may be causing your problem a few weeks ago.
