Re: install problems Xorg

["Vim Visual" <vim.unix@googlemail.com>]

thanks for the help... still it doesn't work... even with your
xorg.conf (slightly modified for my screen resolution

I attach the log.log file

I still believe that something is wrong with my install. Everytime I
try it (~7 so far) the "GENERIC" cannot be loaded and then I get a
warning that the kernel module could not be found or loaded or
whatever...

Just in case of I reburnt the iso file but the problem is the same. My
laptop is an ibm t43p. I can send you dmesg if you wish...
