Ok, I am starting to pick this up. Obviously I am totally new to Linux. I further read the info prior to the failure and it isn't detecting my primary device. I ran lspci and found my video card "00:05.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corp.: Unknown device 0322 (rev a1)". When I run dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86 and try and enter "00:05.1" it rejects it as an invalid bus id. What would the appropriate bus id for that device be?

If you search the archives at http://lists.debian.org/search.html for `no screens found' you get some results. We need your /var/log/XFree86.0.log and possibly your /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 for a start. Please mention your video hardware. `lspci' might help there. David -- Hi! I'm a .signature virus.
