Re: Debian on an iBook

I can't find all the characters to type this command! 
egrep '^\((EE|WW)\)' /var/log/XFree86.0.log
I guessing my keyboard is not configured properly either - the characters I can't find are ^ and ' although there is a similar apostrophe. Here's is the contents of  /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 :

# XF86Config-4 (XFree86 X Window System server configuration file)
#
# This file was generated by dexconf, the Debian X Configuration tool, using
# values from the debconf database.

I've tried reconfiguring xserver as described below, but no luck. I 
looked at lspci, and it says:

when I type startx, it says:

(EE) No devices detected.
Fatal server error:

X10: fatal IO error 104 (Connection reset by peer) on X server ":0.0"
after 0 requests (0 known processed) with 0 events remaining

I looked at var/log/XFree86.0.log and at the end of the file it says:

(II) Primary Device is: PCI 00:10:0
(II) ATI: Candidate "Device" section "ATI Radeon Mobility 7500 M7 LW".
(WW) RADEON: No matching Device section for instance (BusID PCI:0:16:9) 
found
(EE) No devices detected.

Fatal server error:
no screens found
    
Something is really misconfigured. The quickest way to solve this is
probably for you to post your /etc/X11/XF86Config-4, so that we can get
a better idea of what is going on. Also, run the command

egrep '^\((EE|WW)\)' /var/log/XFree86.0.log

and include its output, so that we can see all error messages and
warnings of your X server.
