Please help me get X Server running!!!
Hi,
I recently installed Debian on my Dell C510 laptop, and I have been working 6 hours trying to get X server to run so I can have some sort of GUI. It took me a while to figure out how to edit XF86config-4 or by dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86 to edit it. I have a ATI Radeon Mobility Graphics driver but that wasn't working, so I switched to the vesa driver as someone had suggested in this forum. Then I was having mouse problems because in the config file, it was referencing two mouses, and it was pointing to folders where I do not think the mouses were located in. Anyway, I think I got that fixed becuase I just deleted one of the mouses. So now when I type in startx the X server loads with KDE but once it gets to periphials (ie: mouse, etc.) it closes, back to the command line, giving me this error:
Fatal Server Error
Caught Signal 4
Server Aborting
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Don't really think I can post the log file because it is on my linnux os, and im using windows right now. Don't know enough about linnux to go to a browser without a GUI and browser and post it so...
