Hi all, Finally got Debian woody running on my DELL Inspirion 8500, sort of :-) I installed kernel 2.4.8 and it now boots without an Aieee error. X works using the NVidia driver but I can't get a BIG resolution running, such as 1900 x 1200. I know this resolution can be achieved as I have seen a few web pages of people running RedHat and getting it to work.
Anyway, how do I stop X starting automatically when Debian starts ? GDm or XDM starts automagically when I start the laptop so it starts X. I can't log in as root via the graphical log in screen (security I suppose) only as a user. I can 'su' once logged in but the xserver refuses to restart or change resolutions. Ctrl + Alt + Backspace doesn't seem to have any effect. Perhaps I am missing something ? Cheers
