here's my little problem. I installed Ubuntu 5.10 Breezy and everything went fine until it tried to load Xserver (thats's the graphical interface right?). It gives me an error and says to go on wiki.X.rg but there I've found nothing which could help me. You guys are my last hope..
I have Samsung SyncMaster 753DF and ATI Radeon X800GTO. I even tried to launch live CD verson but the same error comes up and I don't know what to do.

I tried this:
sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg and there i put my resolution and frequency and when it finished I tiped startx but the same error came so I'm back at the beggining... Please help
Most likely the problem is an incorrect video driver or incorrect monitor settings.
To change the video driver, type:
Code:
sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf
scroll down the file and look for a line that says "Section "Device" ". Under that will be a line for the driver. Change the driver to "vesa". Vesa is a good generic driver that works with most hardware.
After that, try "startx" and see if it works. If not, re-run "dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" and make sure the resolution and refresh rate you select is within the range supported by the monitor.
There are few more things and I don't wan't to open a new topic so I'll just post it here:
i downloaded rp-pppoe 3.7.tar.gz and transfered it to linux but when I tried to install it compiling the source i got the message that there is no C compiler installed...So where can I found a C compiler and install it?
I did as you said... I installed th packages and then the utlity for pppoe...after that I typed pppoe-setup and put everything as it should but when I try pppoe-start "TIMED OUT".. Why? maybe because the utility i downloaded is 3.7 and not 3.5 as it says in ubuntu guide but I wasn't able to find 3.5 anywhere
somehow I did with SUDO PPPOECONF...it's working now though I can't read NTFS partitions... it's saying I do not have permissions.. I tried to mount it with sudo and it says it's already mounted bud I can't open any of them
