(...) By reading your xorg log error, I see two problems here: 1/ Intel driver is failing (not normal but users are accustomed to this) 2/ VESA driver (the natural fallback alternative when "intel" driver fails) cannot be loaded: *** (II) LoadModule: "vesa" (WW) Warning, couldn't open module vesa (II) UnloadModule: "vesa" (EE) Failed to load module "vesa" (module does not exist, 0) *** Users with an Intel VGA card should always have the "vesa" driver available and ready to be used, just in case, because such cards do not have another alternative to use (while ati or nvidia chipsets can play with 3/4 different set of drivers, Intel options are very limited in this matter) :-/ Greetings, -- Camaleón -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
