Folks,
I've recently installed debian on my PC
and can't get the X server working. I've run the XF86Setup app and it completed
sucessfully, telling me I had established a properly working server, but when I
quit, saving the config to XF86Config, and run startx, I get the
following:
(a long list of messages
which scroll up the screen, followed by...)
*** none of the configured
devices were detected ***
Fatal server error: no screens
found
- X11 TransSocketUNIXConnect: Can't
connect: errno = 111
giving up.
xinit: connection refused (errno
111) unable to connect to xserver
xinit: no such
process (errno 3): server error
If I su to root and run xdm, my
display starts flashing, rendering all subsequent operation useless. The only
way out at this point is Ctl-Alt-Del.
I've read all the docs included with debian, as
well as the FAQ and tutorial at their website and have found nothing to
help.
I'm running on a 133Mhz Intel PC
with a Trident 9440 graphics chip. What is going
on?
'til next we type...
HAVE FUN!! -- Jesse
