If X comes up okay, then you can inspect the configuration file(s) (e.g., xorg.conf) to get some clues as to what's amiss with your own installation. > > On Mon, Apr 7, 2008 at 7:35 AM, Robert Isaac > <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > On Sun, Apr 6, 2008 at 9:09 PM, Lance Ferrer > <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > Im getting > > > XIO: Fatal IO error 104 (connection reset by > peer) on X server ":0.0" > > > when I try to boot debian.

Re: Hey everyone, GUI isn't working; I can't figure out how to configure my xserver correctly.
Hey guys, when I typed in /etc/X11/xorg.conf it said bash: /etc/X11/xorg.conf permission denied or something like that. i typed in su then my root password then did it and it still said permission denied. i don't really know what im doing though. I tried using dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg and i selected vesa for my drive. i didn't really know what to put for everything else so for the thing that i had to type stuff in i left what was in there and just hit enter or left it blank and hit enter. i tried it with the framebuffer thing and without (i don't know what that is), but both times i typed startx my monitor showed the message it says when i turn my comp off (something about power saving enabled.. monitor will shut down soon. something along those lines.) i just restart my comp and go into single user mode (don't know what made me do that) then i do the same command and switch back to nv driver. back to where i started... as for booting in single user mode... i do that, but what do i do next? how does booting without x get my desktop running? how do i add -s to the kernel command line? what does that do? Specs: gigabyte s-series ga-ma790x-ds4 am2/am2+ socket type... bfg tech nvidea 8800 GT amd dual core 64 bit processor (am2 socket) 4 GB ddr2 1066 ram if you need to know anything else just ask, and as for how it is set up... i have award bios let me know how to find out what set-up things you need to know and ill tell you how its set up lol. thanks for the help guys On Mon, Apr 7, 2008 at 7:35 AM, Robert Isaac <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On Sun, Apr 6, 2008 at 9:09 PM, Lance Ferrer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Im getting > > XIO: Fatal IO error 104 (connection reset by peer) on X server ":0.0" > > when I try to boot debian.

Thanks. It was an interesting reading. Not yet solved, however. Basic things are in order.
