I have an old Toshiba 4025cdt laptop, which uses the Chips and Technologies F65555 HiQVPro (rev c6) VGA controller. I installed Slitaz 3.0 on this computer and everything worked fine, including X. But I just did # tazpkg set-release stable to make it upgrade to version 4.0, and I am able to log in to the command-line but X does not work.
I tried downloading Mojo's .tazpkg for the chips driver in the link above, but tazpkg will not install it. The error says "line 2958: can't open '/tmp/tazpkg-2259/18057/recept' .. and the numbers change when I try again.
I also downloaded the Arch package, used xz to unzip it, then tried to run # tazpkg convert on the resulting .tar file, but got the error: "Unsupported format".
As a last resort, I did # tar -xf on the Arch .tar file, then copied the chips_drv.so file to /usr/lib/X11/modules/drivers, and manually changed the driver in the /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/60-Device.conf .. but X still does not work.
When I try to start slim, I get a message that Slim is starting, but there is no X display. When I run the startx command, it says:
(EE) module ABI major version (15) doesn't match the server's version (8)
(EE) Failed to load module "chips" (module requirement mismatch, 0)
(EE) No drivers available.
Fatal server error:

PLEASE HELP!
