Re: How can I configure debian, to boot to a text mode login (new Debian user)

[David González]

Hi.
Debian starts by default in runlevel 2 (if you didn't modify the
inittab file), so go to /etc/rc2.d and erase or rename the symbolic
link called S99gdm (for gnome, kdm for KDE) and reboot.

Re: Video card not recognised

[David González]

Did you search the ATI web site for a driver? Maybe with a driver of
them will work better than the built-in driver from xfree. For the
refresh rate, I normally solve that issue by editing the XF86Config-4
file by myself, you have to put the refresh rates that matches your
monitor.
For example:
---
Section "Monitor"
Identifier  "Samsung SyncMaster 793s"
HorizSync   30-70
VertRefresh 50-160
Option  "DPMS"
EndSection
---
For my Samsung SyncMaster 793s 17".
