Hi. I've been using the latest unstable with a Pentium III for quite a whille
now with no problems at all. I decided to upgrade my h/w to an Athlon 3800+
and I thought I could just install the disks from the old system to the new h/w
and work from there.
The new system, as I said, is an Athlon 3800+ with an ATI Radeon 9200 (from
Sapphire). Everything worked just fine until gdm started up. It looks like X
will start, but when the screen blanks it just stays that way and I cannot
break X or reboot the system with ctrl-alt-del.
My old system was running an ATI 128 Rage Pro, but what I did was boot the new
system into single user mode and reconfigured 'xserver-xorg' accepting sensible
options. The configuration recognized the card and the monitor, etc. But X
just doesn't work.
At this point, I decided to reinstall using the Debian 4.0 netinst cd thinking
that the reinstallation would default to a useful value, but the
re-installation has the same problem with X. Does anyone have any suggestions
I might follow to get my system back up? Everything works fine in the text
console; it's just X that seems to be having problems. BTW, I've tried running
a livecd (centos 4.3) and everything works just fine (gdm starts up, etc.).
I'd appreciate any help. Thanks

Isn't there a log file -- something like /var/log/Xorg.0.log? Whenever I
screw up an X config or something screws it up for me, I usually can get
the answer in that log file.
