X Server issue - can't launch X Windows
Hi,
I installed Debian 2.6.18-5-686 onto an IBM Travelstar laptop hard drive by setting it up as a primary hard drive on an HP D510 Workstation.
The laptop is a Dell Latitude LS and does not have a CD-ROM drive.
Now, after returning the laptop hard drive to the notebook and trying to boot the system X Windows will not start.
In the Xorg.0.log file the config file is listed as /etc/x11/xorg.conf, the ServerLayout value is "Default Layout", the Screen value is set to "Default Screen (0)" the monitor value is "VG720" (which obviously needs to be corrected) and for device the value is "nVidia Corporation NV11 [GeoForce2 MX/MX 400]"
Do I need to install another driver, edit the xorg.conf file, or what else do I need to do in order to have this machine run a graphical interface?
Thanks!

Ok, so I just issued the command lspci and for the value of "VGA compatible controller:" I am getting: "Neomagic Corporation NM2200 [MagicGraph 256 AV]"
I am guessing the nVidia listed in my hardware config is the wrong driver. Now then, how do I change it to the correct driver in order to successfully run X?
