X is a big meanie :-) Okay, well actually it's my own inability to configure my video properly (I *think* that's what's going on at least.) So my setup: I'm using Debian 2.2. I just did a full upgrade of whatever Debian's newest of everything is, so I'm not quite sure what version of X I've got, but I'm pretty much positive it's 3.6 or greater. My computer is a Compaq Presario 1800XL 190 Laptop. My video card is an ATI Rage Mobility AGP, although when you really get into the diagnostics it's listed as "ATI Rage Mobility p", which is one of the cards I can choose when using xf86config. I've been told what refresh rates to use by several people, and I haven't fried my monitor, so I'm set there. As far as RAMDAC, I'm a little stuck there, the closest I found was a diagnostic that read "DAC: Internal" but I just type 'q' for that one since it says it can generally auto-detect. Clockchip I do without, and I use the Mach-64 server, which is what my card is meant to be used with. So the problem is really simple to describe :-) I type 'startx' and I get a nice little flicker of what's probably X for aprox .5 seconds, and then the screen goes blank. I can't power off my computer, so I have to yank the powercord and the battery out. Ctrl + Alt + Backspace also does not work. Any help is much appreciated!
