There should be no need to reinstall (unless it turns out that Sarge is too old for your video card, but I don't think so). You have a configuration problem somewhere; maybe you are producing a video signal that is out of range for the monitor. Please post the output of the following three commands: lspci | egrep -i 'video|vga|display' awk '/Section "(Device|Monitor)"/,/EndSection/' /etc/X11/xorg.conf egrep '^\((EE|WW)\)' /var/log/XFree86.0.log -- Regards, Florian -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
