X, ethernet configuration
Hi all,
So I got Woody installed on a new Compaq
Presario 2199US, except I can't get either
X or networking working, so it's pretty useless
at this point.
The X problems: the adapter is Radeon IGP
320M. I've tried "dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86"
calling it an ati, a radeon, or just a vga; nothing
works. If I say it's ati it says it can't find
such a device, even though lspci finds it. Similar
if I call it radeon. vga gets closer; it flickers
a few times and then gives up. I'll provide logs
on request.
I can't get it to find my ethernet card either, even
though again lspci finds it just fine. It's a
National Semiconductor DP83815/816. I
tried setting it up with
"dpkg-reconfigure etherconf".
Any ideas? I'm a complete Debian newbie.
