Re: X Windos System will not start
Current Subject getting a working /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 (Kent West Oct
26,2003)
I have run apt-get remove --purge on kdm & snort (to hopefully get rid of
the eth0 problem. Success). Now the only thing that shows up when
dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86 is the video card. Which I set to nVIDIA
MX-440 (this may not be correct. Maybe it should be GeForce4 MX440.).
Stephen Cormier sent me a copy of his XF86Config-4 file which gave me a lot
more confidence.
The following is a list of differences between My Original XF86Config-4,
Stephen's XF86Config-4, and my New XF86Config-4 (after running
dpkg-reconfigure). Only differences are listed!

### END DEBCONF SECTION
I believe the only problem with the differences is my identification of the
video card I likely should change it to GeForce4 MX440(I cannot verify the
SE and since I dont know anything about this perhaps I should leave it off..
If Stephen can comment I would appreciate his comments on this and the
entire problem. Of course if anyone else has some insight their comments
would be welcome also.
