Re: Cannot start X server
I'm a Debian newbie, trying to install Debian on my laptop, a Clevo D400
(on which Mandrake 9 and RH 9 ran OK). On the first boot after installation,
I am getting hung just before starting the X server:
"I cannot start your X server...it is likely that it is not set up
correctly..."
I installed from CDs burnt from the ISOs for 30r. The rest of the
installation (Vanilla) seemed to go OK. In the error report, the line
listed as "error" (EE) plus the line above are:
(--) Assigning device section with no busID to primary device
(EE) No devices detected.
Fatal server error: no screens found
I am asked to run the configuration program, and I say yes, but with no
apparent effect.
I'd appreciate any help. I'd love to be able to get into Debian.
