As I recall -- my notes aren't handy, I never specifically installed ANY video drivers. The installer must have taken care of it. > > anything involving X.

No. Up until X and Openbox were installed and configured, I installed everything from the terminal. After the GUI was set up, I did the rest of the install from a virtual terminal. Do you mean since I've been using Linux? Going on 15 years now. Yes. Of course. But this is the first time I've done such a custom install using a window manager only instead of a full desktop environment. FYI: The system boots to a login terminal, and once logged in, startx is used to run X and Openbox. B -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
