Hello, I have a brand new HP pavillion laptop with debian unstable amd64 installed. I cannot get x to start, but more worrying than that is that /var/log/Xorg.0.log does not exist, and never gets generated. here are the packages related to X that I have installed: ,---- | ii xserver-xorg 1:7.3+6 | ii xorg 1:7.3+6 | ii xserver-xorg-core 2:1.4-3 | ii xserver-xorg-input-all 1:7.3+6 the | ii xserver-xorg-input-evdev 1:1.2.0~git20070819-4 | ii xserver-xorg-input-kbd 1:1.2.2-3 | ii xserver-xorg-input-mouse 1:1.2.3-1 | ii xserver-xorg-input-synaptics 0.14.7~git20070706-1 | ii xserver-xorg-input-wacom 0.7.7.11-1 | ii xfonts-base 1:1.0.0-5 | ii xbase-clients 1:7.3+6 `---- I don't mind fixing X, I have done it before but not having a log file makes it impossible for me (or you :-)) to diagnose what the problem could be. I am starting x via gdm but if I use the startx command on tty1 I get: ,---- | giving up. | xinit: Connection refused (errno 111): Unable to connect to X server | xinit: No such processs (errno 3): Server error. `---- and again, no log at all of anything in /var/log/ Can someone please help me? --
