Re: Unable to get X to start on new flat screen monitor using DVI

[James Allsopp <jamesaallsopp@googlemail.com>]

Hi,
That's really odd about the kernel. The computer was working fine on an old CRT via VGA, and I just plugged my new flat screen in via dvi-d, and you can see start up, but X doesn't start.

I'm upgrading to the 2.6.32-686 kernel, will that be new enough?
Thanks
James

That question is easy to answer, the nouveau module does not exist
because James is running an obsolete 2.6.30 kernel.  Upgrading to the
Squeeze kernel should rectify this.
