Hi !
I am new to debian and have just installed it on my system but the XServer does not work. The hardware configuration of my PC is as follows:
PIV - 2.66 GHz
512 MB RAM
Video Chip - Intel(R) 8284 5G/GL/GE/PE/GV
Vendor - Dell
Monitor - Dell
H Sync - 30-85
V Sync - 50-160
Mouse - Optical USB Mouse
The driver that I use for video is "vesa". I tried with i810 but it also didn't work. When I started x server for the first time, the x screen appeared for a brief instance. But afterwards it never happened.
The following log is generated when I start the x server:
