Hi,
I still do not know whether something was wrong with the iso but since
I can use the system I have tried to install X... but dpkg-reconfigure
xserver-xorg and startx yields "no screens found"
Please, could you try Xorg -configure -verbose 2>log.log.
It might generate appropriate hw sections for you.
Also see attached my xorg.conf, it might work for you,
as we both have driver ati.
You can also try to use driver vesa.
I know that some of the mouse conf are wrong but this should not be a
big problem.
Another point is that the modules it's asking for are not available
with a dpkg-reconfig module-init-tools
These modules are not kernel modules, but xorg modules,
they should be in /usr/lib/xorg/modules/
ls -l /usr/lib/xorg/modules/input/
total 66
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 11692 Oct 7 16:35 kbd_drv.so
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 11692 Oct 7 16:35 keyboard_drv.so
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 41368 Oct 3 12:03 mouse_drv.so
Do you have installed packages xserver-xorg-input-kbd
and xserver-xorg-input-mouse ?
For list of other possible packages try
"apt-cache search xserver-xorg"
Hope it helps.
