Re: Start Xserver problem

[Stephen Liu <satimis@icare.com.hk>]

Hi Mark,

I re-ran

#dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86

There was a notice at start
"This is a pre-release version of XFree86, and is not supported in any
way.........."

This time I configure PS/2 wheel mouse which was connected to replace
the USB optical mouse.

I left following items blank without entry
1) Please enter the video card's bus identifier
2) Please select you keyboard variant
3) Please select your keyboard options

# startx
Failed.

Ran
# apt-get update
# apt-get upgrade XFree86

from "ftp://ftp.hk.debian.org"; where I downloaded packages to install
Debian 3.0

nothing downloaded
