Hi, there is a million and one ways to do computing. People do things differently. No one way is right or wrong just different. there is a file in /usr/X11R6/bin/xf86config. You can run that and it will step you through the configuration of the xserver. Make sure you have the monitor vertical resolution and horizontal resolution settings. If you dpkg -i the xserver-svga.deb file it will do the same thing. Using dpkg -i command is the manual way of installing .deb files. I find that it works wonderfully, I have not used dselect. I don't plan to either. This mail group has nothing good to say about it. But if it works good for you then you keep using it. I hope this helps you. If something goes wrong write the errors down and email them to me and the group and we will see what we can do. bye for now. I hope this works out for you. Remember email me if you have problems.
