Hello! I installed debian on Compaq Presario 1200T (12XL3). My problem is that startx does not connect to terminal. I am unsure what driver to use for my videocard, so I used vesa. Monitor resolution [EMAIL PROTECTED] Videocard memory unknown: compaq does not provide that information. When I reconfigure the mouse and test it with XFree86 -xf86config /root/XF86Config.new I see a purely black screen, and sometimes gray screen, no X for mouse, and when I try to exit, ctrl-alt-bckspc does not work.
I guess, my problem is video adapter configuration, but I have no idea what to do. Each time after ctrl-alt-bckspc fails, I have to do a hard reboot, and that breaks something in the kernel, so the computer suggests me to do a manual repair, but I do not know how. I am a newbie - please spoonfeed, or point to helpful websites with info on videocard/mouse/Xfree configuration. Thank you much, Luda
