Graphical Interface Crashes
I have recently installed Debian 5.01 Lenny on my machine. I used a
network mirror during the installation. However, during the initial
boot after the installation, my graphical interface always crashes right
before the login screen. I have tried GDM, KDM and XDM for the
interfaces, and all of them do the same thing. Howerver, a friend of
mine uses the exact same motherboard and processor, but a different ATI
video card, he can do a full install with absolutely no problems.
My system specs are:
Intel Quad-Core Q6700
4 GB Ram
VisionTek Radeon HD2600 XT
Asus P5N-D Motherboard
However, if I do just a basic install (no Desktop selected), and
manually install xserver-xorg-core, kdm and XFCE. Everything works like
a charm. I would just prefer to not have to manually add all the
programs that I want to use, since I am fairly new to Debian.
On a second note, my home computer when I do a full desktop install and
when I do the reboot after the installation, as soon as the graphical
interface wants to load, I keep getting a "Input Not Supported" on my
screen. This happens when I use either the onboard video or a seperate
video card. When I do a manually install as stated above (xorg, kdm,
xfce), I can change the screen resolution to 1440x900 @ 75 hz. However,
the sync rate is 15 to high (monitor is rated at 60 hz for sync). My
home specs are:
AMD Athlon X2 7750 Black Edition
Gigabyte GA-MA78GM-UD2H w/Radeon HD3200 video
4 GB Ram
BFG nVidia 9400GT OC
Acer x193w monitor (1440x900 @ 60hz)
Any help on either of these issues would be greatly appreciated.
