Edward, thanks for trying to help, I know I wasn't very specific. I've successfully installed Debian 3.01 woody with the 'vanilla' option on a Dell Precision 410 workstation. Everything works at the command line, apt-get update, apt-get upgrade, anything.
However, I've tried with several video cards, both AGP and PCI. s3 Virge, Diamond Fire GL1 (the original to the machine), etc. Nothing seems to work!! I guess I'm looking for a specific set of apt-get install commands. I've tried numerous times, most recently with: apt-get install x-window-system-core then apt-get install sawmill-gnome I've run xf86config numerous times. Nothing seems to work. How do I invoke Gnome?? xinit? Every time I reboot I get to the command line or xserver cannot start. I really want to run a Linux desktop, but this is very frustrating. Any good tutorials online (I haven't found any!)? Brett __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Protect your identity with Yahoo!
