Greetings;
Before I do the Windows thing of a complete reinstall of
the system ...
No need. You've got the basics already.
However, if you're running stable (Sarge), you might consider upgrading
to testing (Etch), or even unstable (Sid). If you're on a server that
needs 24x7 uptime, stick with Sarge (but then, why X?). If you're
putting together a workstation, I think you'll do better with Etch.
There is something wrong and the xserver won't come up.
All it says is "I cannot start the X server" and some other
general stuff. I have tried running dpkg-reconfigure xfree86
several times but somthing is not getting completely reset
because I still have the same problem.
Look in /var/log/XFree86.0.log (probably) for lines marked with an (EE).
Report those lines here.
Also, if your machine has an integrated video system, check the BIOS to
make sure you've allocated sufficient video RAM (e.g. 8MB or better).
Also, if you've ever edited /etc/X11/XFree86.conf (or whatever the file
was named in Sarge) by hand, the dpkg-reconfigure thing won't work
unless you follow the instructions at the top of that file.
