Hello,
Hum that's the second time I ask a question, and just when I see the mail
returning to I foudn the answer. I hope you will forgive that ;-)
There is a spelling error in the xf86config program. When it asking for the
mouse
it propose /dev/tty00 and it has to be /dev/ttyS0 (for com1). Also it propose
just /dev/mouse but that certainly dont works.
I found that desktop start with startx.
Also I seems to have only 16 color, but before I ask again in panic I will try a
little more myself, please forgive me !!
rgds, Wilfried

Subject: RE: first installation,cannot find default font
Hello,
Ok I just contunied with ctrl-c and it seemd it installed the fonts... after a
while I got again to fill in all video stuff, and the test seems to
work (except
Icould not move the mouse cursor).
But when I reboot I come again in the command interpreter. How do I start up
Gnome Desktop ?
thanks, Wilfried

Subject: first installation,cannot find default font
Hello,
I try to install Debian on my machine. At the end I have to configure mouse,
keyboard, video,.. After that is a test witch failed with the
following error:
Fatal server error:
Could not open default font 'fixed'
Does this means I have to download/install fonts separately ? The
only 'font'
thing that I remember in the questions was if I wanted 75 or 100 dpi fonts (I
selected both). Or did I do something teribely wrong ?
note that this is my first experiance with linux, so please be patience ;-)
rgds, Wilfried

Hi Wilfried,
I had those problems when I first installed debian :-)
which version o Debian are you using?
what I did to correct and configure the video, mouse, etc... was:
1- I ran the installation;
2- Configured apt source.list to my Debian version ( /etc/apt/source.list)
example: if you are using woody ( change every " stable" to woody in
your source.list, if
you're using potato there's no need to change... and so on...:-))
3- gave the following command: apt-get install x-window-system
4- after that I did an apt-get install xserver-xfree86
5- answered the questions and configured it! :-)
Now, in this exact moment I'm running Debian Woody - kernel 2.4.18
using KDE 2.2.x :-) Using the steps above :-)
Any doubts... post it to the list!
regards
Francisco
