Can I install Ubuntu/Debian without installing XORG?
Meaning, Xorg makes my screen freeze and "crackle", once frozen PC must reboot; possibly due to integrated SIS-760 Graphics.
I noticed when using Puppy that if I chose Xvesa everything was nice and smooth; if I chose Xorg, almost instant freezing and lock-up! I also have slack 12.2 and it never freezes, does slack use same xorg as Ubuntu or Xvesa? So, is there a way to only install Xvesa in ubuntu 8.04 +? thanks |
Take a look at

Slackware uses the xorg server (info from distrowatch.com). You can check the xorg.conf in your Slackware install for the driver that is used.

I would suggest using debian, as it gives you the control to do a minimal installation, since they have the minimal install disk.

Alright, Repo and everybody, that post was Right On dog-pound!
Too bad I gotta do a total uninstall of 5 systems to get over this one! I got Debian and 4 buntu's that will have to be erased and re-installed-s**t! Is there any way to just boot to command line, Uninstall Xorg and somehow install Xvesa, without having to re-install? I hope so.... |
Why have you got 5 systems? bit too much!
To answer your question, you need to boot into single user mode, this link tells you how: http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/grub-bo...gle-user-mode/ and then just remove xorg by typing sudo apt-get remove xorg...or-something (use "apt-cache search" to find xorg) then install whatever you want! |
you could try
Code:
apt-get remove xorg* |

I'll try it, and hope it works OK:) why do you have a * next to xorg Reepster? |
cause he isn't sure what the full package name of xorg will be!

LOL, see this is what happens when you live in a place where sweetleaf is commonly

Code:
ade@Pc1:~$ apt-cache policy xvesa |
Have you tried "apt-cache search xvesa" instead?
Why are you doing a "apt-cache policy"? |

Here's an example: Code:

Its a bit old, but try and install this packaged xvesa.
