Hi all,
I had enough trouble doing an install that I thought I would relay
it to you-all in hopes the issues might get categorized and addressed
some day. :)
The base machine:
MBoard: ECS KV2 Lite
CPU: 2GHz AMD64x2
Memory: 2GB
Video: NVidea chip on EVGA e-GeForce MX 4000
I finished the install, configured XFree 86 (it recognized the video!!)
and logged in. I ran "startx" only to discover that it blows up because
the default install installs XFree86, but not libXau. Oops. I could not
determine which "apt-get" to get that supplied libXau. It wasn't
indexed.
After a bunch of Googling around, I "apt-got" the right thing and I
had X.
Oh, I did forget another little headache: though it recognized the
video card and monitor, it configured the wrong settings anyway,
so I had to figure out that XFree86.conf was renamed to xorg.conf
and hand edit the monitor specs to conform to the ViewSonic P90
specs.
