Thomas, I have since used a generic xorg.conf that I found on a website listing some configs for laptops. So I'm making a little progress; Now what I'm getting are specific error messages. :-) The requested output: (WW) The directory "/usr/X11/lib/X11/fonts/TrueType/" does not exist. (WW) The directory "/usr/X11/lib/X11/fonts/Type1/" does not exist. (WW) The directory "/usr/X11/lib/X11/fonts/Type1/sun/" does not exist. (WW) The directory "/usr/X11/lib/X11/fonts/F3bitmaps/" does not exist. (WW) The directory "/usr/X11/lib/X11/fonts/misc/" does not exist. (WW) The directory "/usr/X11/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi/" does not exist. (WW) The directory "/usr/X11/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi/" does not exist. (WW) FontPath is completely invalid. Using compiled-in default. (WW) Warning, couldn't open module pcidata (EE) Failed to load module "pcidata" (module does not exist, 0) (WW) xf86CloseConsole: KDSETMODE failed: Bad file descriptor (WW) xf86CloseConsole: VT_GETMODE failed: Bad file descriptor So now when I manually enter 'startx' as user the only message returned is 'pcidata module failed to load'. I think the other messages may be from earlier on this morning. Thanks for your help. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
