That did not help. I get dislplay sligthly different than before but it
is still messed up. I will try to reinstall squeeze to see if that will
make any difference [god old memories of how to fix prblems with Windows
- X is not mentioned, MS is implied :]
Btw. to use startx I have to use: sudo startx
$ startx -- -depth 16
X: user not authorized to run the X server, aborting.
What group do I need to join? I am at those:
$ groups
martin cdrom floppy audio dip video plugdev vde2-net
Thanks,
Martin
