2) installed up to date xserver-xorg
3) ran gdm / gnome, got me to the login screen, and as others have been

too high and the screen went all wacky. No problem --i could see the
menu saying 'press this button or screen resolution will be reverted in
14...13...' countdown finished, tried to revert...black screen. Since

xorg.conf...it was 'empty'-- no drivers listed, no screens listed.
Tried adding a few, results in :

Fatal server error:

Deleted xorg.conf...same error above now. dpkg-reconfigure no longer
allows me to choose my driver(intel), not sure where to go next.

Summary: xorg was showing me something, now it's just giving a blank
screen. This is basically 'not functional' right off the install disk
