I can't get my X configured. I have checked all hints withing few months from this list, but nothing has helped.
I tried configre to X 4.0.1 long time ago, but it failed exactly same way, so I reverted back to X 3.3.6 where hasn't been any problems. But latest woody 3.3.6 also messed things up, so I can't get my X work in any way. dpkg --reconfigure xserver-xfree86 fails after answering to mouse wheel question in debconf. Screen gets vertically striped and scrabled font, so I can't use it any way. I can change consoles, but it's all striped there also, and screen doesn't update, just messes up more. I even logged with ssh, ready to kill processes, if for example keyboard dies, but even that get's locked up. clear or reset doesn't clean the screen, only reboot works. dexter fails when it complains missing or incomplete database, what debconf should do in above case. xf86cfg gives me screen ... wow... ugly background and few pictures, Monitor, Videocard, Computer-box, and Keyboard and Mouse. Under that is hairline box, and insice that is smaller box - I guess it's info box, but there is no text, just hairline outline. Oh, and it freezes to there, I can't change to Console modes, or kill the X with ctrl-alt-backspace. - reboot is only what helps. X --configure gives black screen, and lockup. But with some editing I got almost working configuration. It get's the my favorite resolution, and windowmaker's "paperclib-dock" with docked icons. Icons have my selected theme. No background, or persisting Dock. And lockup.
