Can't load GUI with Ubuntu 5.10 breezy


Hi,

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.

You'll need to supply the error as well.

I see you have suse on your distribution list, what was the outcome of running sax on this graphics card?

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.

You could try:
Code:
sudo apt-get install build-essential
I think that installs all the needed development packages.

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

Why not use pppoe that comes with ubuntu? Just do:
Code:
sudo apt-get install pppoe
or do:
Code:
apt-cache search pppoe
to search for pppoe related packages. You can also browse available packages using "synaptic".
