Configuration should be more or less automatic when you install XFree86,
using the packages "discover", "mdetect" and "xrespro

In addition to what everyone else has posted, you might look at the

It is based on Debian, yes, but it is _not_ Debian. A distinction that people
never quite seem to make. :)

Try Ctrl-Alt-F1 instead. Ctrl-Alt-F10 works with some _installations_,
specifically those which have a getty running on tty10. The default,
however, is to have gettys running on tty1-tty6, so
Your problem seems to be inability to get access to
your computer since "xdm" is taking you directly
into "X", from where the system blanks out.
Try Ctrl-Alt-F10. Works with some keyboards.In case
you manage to come out to console, immediately do
the following as root:

Actually, what I find works is Ctrl-Alt-Backspace (repeat as
necessary). Apparently (judging by other answers) XDM is

And
use c-a-F1 to switch to a virtual console, run xf86config from there.

I think the reason it is doing this is because XDM is running and putting you
right into X Try ctrlaltf10 that should drop you out to a command prompt. My
suggestion would be to remove XDM which you could do my running apt-get remove
xdm. This is will let you play with various configs and boot y

When lilo comes up you can hit . Then type "linux single" and you
will get a root prompt.

I finally found what was the problem. It was some conflict
withe gpm default options .

If you were asking about screen resolution (for example, VGA,
SVGA, etc.), then you need to install the appropriate X server. If
you want high resolution, xserver-vga16 will not do it. You would
want one of the others (for example, xserver-svga), which can be

Do you really mean the "-dpi" option for printing, fonts, etc.? If
so, disregard my following answer.
