Bug#437200: Installation report

Please just run

(from a VT console after X failed to try) and send us the whole output.
It will gather all we need.

I assume the installer used "ati" as a video driver in your
/etc/X11/xorg.conf. Old ati driver (such as 6.6.3) had a bug in their
detection code. You might want to replace "ati" with "radeon" and see if
it helps.

Brice, thanks for your help on this but I think you should take it off your list. I tried to get the console up but never could. I did a fresh net install with "auto64 video=ofonly" from debian.se to my 2nd hard drive with successful reboot. I then tried ALT_CONTROL_F1 at the screen blank, but that didn't work. Then I restarted and tried typing in "/usr/share/bug/xserver-xorg/script 3>&1".
No response there either.
I feel lost and way out of my league. I feel like I'm standing at the blackboard with particle physicists trying to keep up with a basic math education.
I'll stick with the Mac OSX.
Thanks again
Steve
