X Window Problem (Linux Rookie)

["Ziv" <ziven@hotpop.com>]

I'm not new to computers (~20 years) but am new to Linux

I purchased several dist of Linux and from what I can tell I want to go with
Debian 3.0r1 unfortunately Debian is the only one I can't get to work except
the terminal and I don't know nearly enough to even get by using just that.

X won't load up.

I've tried for days now to get x to work.  I've installed Red Hat, copied
their (X) files, even tried a copy of Lindows (X) files to make a routine
debian install work.

I have the log files and am lost.  Could someone point me in the right
direction?

Here are the only problems I see in the logs, and I don't know why...
--
(WW) Cannot open APM

(EE) Unable to open /dev/agpgart (No such device)

(WW) I810(0): Monitor0: Using default hsync range of 28-33kHz
(WW) I810(0): Monitor0: using default vrefresh range of 43-72Hz

Fatal server error:
AddScreen/ScreenInit failed for driver 0
--

Everything else comes up (II)

I don't know what an APM is, or /dev/agpgart
The syncs are correct for the monitor...

I suspect I probably only need edit an init file, but don't know where to
begin or what to correct.

Thanks in advance for the shelter here...
