I too have been frustrated a couple of times, so I can understand what you
are going through. First of all the fact that your X is not configured has
nothing to do with the distributions ( at least not between RH and Debian,
corrections are in order). Secondly you could try asking the
comp.os.linux.x group (or something to that effect). The group deals with
a lot of X-windows problems. Thirdly try running the xf86config as root
and check the resulting file. Fourthly try to find out if anyone has the
same combination of monitor and video card or just the video card and see
if
you can use it as a first step.

How do you start X, and this could be due to incorrect frequencies for
your monitor.

Check the FreeX86 FAQ questions about why the PXE module is not loaded. I
think you need a section that loads this module. This is not critical for
now.

That may be the time you read the HOWTOS and FAQ and man pages. Or
consider asking your friends about 'mount'. Someone with a better and
rclearer answer concerning mount??
