XF86 Problem Solved & Desktop Question

[Nick Henderson <the_real_insanik@yahoo.com>]

Ok, I got X to work.  I reinstalled the
xserver-xfree86 package and selected 1024x768@70,
rather then 60.

So X is now working and I would like to install KDE or
gnome.  Using apt-get for task-kde or
task-gnome-desktop does not work.  It says that some
of the packages cannot be installed.  Any ideas?

Thanks again,
Nick Henderson
