Package: Debian-31r0a-amd64-binary-1
Version: 2.6.11.6
My problem is that when I boot Debian 64 from GRUB, after it's done loading everything, an error message saying "I cannot start the X server (your graphical interface). It is likely that it is not set up correctly. Would you like to view the X server output to diagnose the problem?"
I select yes and the following comes up:
XFree86 Version 4.3.0.1 (Debian 4.3.0.dfsg.1-14sarge1 20050915192417
root@bester.farm.ftbfs.de
)
Release Date: 15 August 2003
X Protocol Version II, Revision 0, Release 6.6
Build Operating System: Linux 2.6.11.6-vs195-farm1.0 x86_64 [ELF]
Build Date: 15 September 2005
My system contains the following hardware:
Motherboard: Asus A8N-E nForce 4 Ultra
CPU: AMD Athlon 64 3000+ 1998MHz
RAM: OCZ Premium-Series 1gb (2x512mb) 2 DIMMS Dual Channel PC3200 DDR400
Video: Asus Extreme N6600 Silencer (nVidia GeForce 6600 256mb)
HDD: Maxtor 250gb IDE HDD (6Y250P0)
Optical: Pioneer DVR-110D DVD-RW
Monitor: NEC MultiSync 75
What led to this was a Debian "Sarge" AMD64 installation from DVD. I had mostly defaults, with an nForce 2 Ethernet Driver instead of an nForce 4 since I didn't have a floppy and it was the only nForce driver there. (It worked though, it downloaded everything it needed and setup the Network Config successfully) I chose all of the packages available (except for the manually select packages) and when it came to it, I select non-LCD mode, with an "nv" display driver and 1280x1024x60hz resolution/refresh rate. Finally the installation finished and the above problem came to be. Thanks in advance for any help you can give me.

Closing since the submitter does not use Debian on this hardware
anymore. Feel free to reopen if you ever reproduce.
