Re: Re: gnome installation help
Edward, thanks for trying to help, I know I wasn't
very specific.
I've successfully installed Debian 3.01 woody with the
'vanilla' option on a Dell Precision 410 workstation.
Everything works at the command line, apt-get update,
apt-get upgrade, anything.
However, I've tried with several video cards, both AGP
and PCI. s3 Virge, Diamond Fire GL1 (the original to
the machine), etc. Nothing seems to work!!
I guess I'm looking for a specific set of apt-get
install commands. I've tried numerous times, most
recently with:
apt-get install x-window-system-core
then
apt-get install sawmill-gnome
I've run xf86config numerous times. Nothing seems to
work.
How do I invoke Gnome?? xinit? Every time I reboot I
get to the command line or xserver cannot start.
I really want to run a Linux desktop, but this is very
frustrating. Any good tutorials online (I haven't
found any!)?
Brett
