Missing output drivers. - how to debug?

[Dan Naughton]

I've been at this for most of the night, if someone can point me in
the right direction, I'm out of ideas.  This is an Geode LX800
Motherboard with the VGA output.  Using the "amd" driver locks up the
computer every time.   The "vesa" driver is better, it just hangs the
display :)  I figured I would go back to Xorg - configure and see if I
can get that working.

I don't know where to begin with asking for help.  I ran  strace Xorg
-configure :1 > /tmp/xorg-strace 2>&1 and this is what I see at the
end:

write(2, "Missing output drivers.  Configu"..., 47Missing output
drivers.  Configuration failed.
########################################################################

There is no directory /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/linux/ - all the
"drivers" are in /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/?

Xorg -conigure failes with "Missing output drivers.  Configuration failed."
startx fails with vesa driver with: "c000:0282: A2 ILLEGAL EXTENDED X86 OPCODE!"
startx with amd driver locks up computer.


Other random informaiton - In the /var/log/Xorg.0.log files, it does
find the Geode graphics at PCI:00:1:1 and will load either the vesa or
amd driver based on the xorg.conf.  Also ddcprobe returns: Monitor
autoprobe results, Monitor autoprobe failed.

What kind of output driver is it looking for?
