You haven't configured a mode that the video can use, so you are getting those messages. You need to reconfigure with the proper information. Make sure you have the following info on your video: - chip set: you can go to www.xfree86.org and find the driver to use for your card/chip set. - monitor hsync and vsync - keyboard and mouse types * I think that's all you need Now, run... # dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86 This will run you through the configuration asking for the above information. After that, go to your normal user mode and run startx to see if it worked. Give it a go, and good luck...jc -- Jeff Coppock Systems Engineer Diggin' Debian Admin and User
