Hi,

you were right. There were two graphic cards, one from ati and one from
3DLabs. When I removed the ati one, it booted successfully - many
[thanks.

Now I have running Ubuntu 7.10 on that box but unfortunately without X
server :-(

The graphic card, which works fine in command line, is (or what is at
least written on it)

3DLabs Wildcat Realizm

lspci reports only "3DLabs Unknown" device

I dpkg-reconfigured the xserver-xorg package and selected the glint driver, because that
is the driver, supposed to work with this graphic card.

However, it does not work.

the xorg error log has at it's end

[...]
(EE) No devices detected.

Fatal server error:
no screens found

I would be thankful for any advice, how to approach.

For lspci, there is a database called pciids, hosted on SourceForge.
On Debian (the best distribution ever, let's face it), a tool called
update-pciids is even shipped to keep it updated.
Maybe your device has been lately?
