can't startx
 

when i boot up my debian box, i log in

ok, successful login

a whole bunch of code scrolls across and then
anyone know what happened?

i did a netinstall - i installed the Graphical User Interface and Webserver categories

Without looking into this much further because I'm a little tired, I would wonder what running SAX or SAX2 would do to help the problem. Just a thought.

what is sax or sax2, and how do i run it?

It's the name of the program. Just type "sax" or "sax2".
I think it stands for SuSE something Xwindow or something...

Ok, I just thought about how ignorant I was with the last post. I'm not familiar with Debian, so what I'm saying is probably irrelevant. Sorry.

Look for the xserver log file for more (E) errors.

Hi, i've got problems whit X too, only, that mine "error" is: "This version of xfree86 has been extensively modifies by the debian project, and is not superted by the xfree86 project in any way"

I tried to reconfigure X, but it didn't make eny difference...

to garyozzy :
which version ? sarge or etch ? Did you try to reconfigure X ?

dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86 for sarge

xorconfig for etch

hope it helps

whoo! it worked

thanks for all your help

now how do i change my screen resolution? it won't go higher than 800x600 in the KDE control panel
