(Check the spelling above. You are typing things incorrectly). If you have xorg, then you probably already have the necessary drivers. It would be helpful if you sent the output of /var/log/Xorg.0.log to the list (perhaps put it at http://paste.debian.net/ and send the resulting URL here). Anyway, if you are not experienced with the command line, you may want to use aptitude instead of apt-get. Just install it (if it is not already) and type: aptitude without any parameters. > i have /etc/X11/xorg.conf empty. > someone said to copy it from > http://theapt.org/openbsd/xorg.conf > > how is this done without typing everything? cd /etc/X11 && wget <URL> But I guess that, given your background, you may not be able to fix your problems if you start with a given configuration. Just post the details of your machine (hint: use lshw) and post it here and other people may be able to send you a file that work for them. Or just Google a little bit. There were (are?) many people running Debian on TiBooks. > cp [source] /etc/X11/xorg.conf > > what is the source path [source] for a pendrive? That depends on what you are using. If you already have some programs installed, the pendrive may be already mounted. mount and dmesg are your friends. Perhaps you should try to see if anybody in debian-user can help you with non-powerpc specific parts (like, say, invoking apt-get correctly or seeing how to grab something from the web).
