I'm having problems installing X. I'm installing using official debian cds. One thing I didn't note in my earlier email is that I didn't install LILO but used a boot disk. My monitor has a the following: H 30 - 71 kHz at a max of 1280x1024 V 50 - 160 Hz My video card is a NVIDIA Riva TNT2 with 30MB of memory. My mouse is a PS/2 which I install under /dev/psaux. The installer usually takes all this information and I choose to install
xdm, I try to install one of the X packages from the simple package selection and then I am later asked which server I want. I choose SVGA. I am then asked to configure X with xfree86config. I have tried not doing this which results in no XF86Config file. If I do configure it one of two things happens. - I get error messages saying can't connect to the X server, errno 111 - xdm never comes up and when I use startx I get a screen that is roughly 4 times the size of my monitor. I'm sorry but I don't have a XF86Config file because I wiped debian off my machine. Brian
