I suppose you can also login as normal user.

Please provide answers to the following questions:
1)
Try the command startx and see what is does? More or less working? If the screen is 'screwed' as with your graphical install, you can probably get out by pressing <ctrl><alt><backspace>.
2)
Make/model of video card/adapter and monitor.

execute this command and post the results (be careful to copy exactly - including case, and making sure you use the correct quotes):

Code:

grep '^(EE' /var/log/Xorg.0.log

BaAa3 · 11-30-2006, 05:58 AM

it says !
(EE) AIGLX: Screen 0 is not DRI capable

matthewg42 · 11-30-2006, 06:03 AM

You should turn off AIGLX. Look at the bottom of this page for instructions. You'll need to be root to edit the xorg.conf file.

Looks like you have the same problem as described in this thread.

BaAa3 · 11-30-2006, 06:05 AM

ok thanks alot I will give it a look later ( thank you very much I have to go now

)

I did all what is said.. Its still not working !!!

Still Screwed : /

by the way there was no Section named Extension so I added it like this at the end of the file :

Section "Extensions"
Option "Composite" "Disable"
EndSection

and for Section ServerFlags it was like this:
Section "ServerFlags"
Option "AllowMouseOpenFail" "Yes"
EndSection

and I made it like this :

Section "ServerFlags"
Option "AIGLX" "off"
Option "AllowMouseOpenFail" "Yes"
EndSection
