A really stupid question: does the motherboard also have a video on board - if so, check which one is the default in BIOS. [I have, in the past, had to boot without a video card using the inbuilt VGA, tell it to default to PCI on reboot then switch off, insert the card and hope :) ] > >And then the screen goes black..nothing appears. > >I have tested the video card on windows and it works well. > > > >I also want to run debian on non-graphical mode..I did not install any > >desktop environment.I want to run it on command line as a server. > Install the absolute bare minimum: use a Debian expert install to allow you to answer all questions in detail, install only the base system, perhaps with the SSH server added. That will install a small text mode system - 280 packages or so - and should allow you to build on that by adding packages slowly. Hope this helps a little - logs or more detail will help debug problems All the best, AndyC -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
