Start X problem

[gbh]

I'm having problems starting X windows. After installing
Debian 2.0 and entering 'startx' I get the following error;

   (--) VGA16: Maximum allowed dot-clock: 90 MHz
   (--) VGA16: There is no defined dot-clock matching mode 1024 x 
768

   Fatal server error:
   No valid modes found.

   When reporting a problem related to server crash,
   please send the full server output, not just the last messages.

   _X11 TransSocketUNIXConnect: Can't connect: errno = 111
   giving up.

   xinit: Connecton refused (errno 111): unable to connect to X 
server
   xinit: No such process (errno 3): Server error.

What needs to be done to start up the X server?

Qt installation problem

[gbh]

I'm trying to install Qt 1.40 on Debian 2.0 and have a
few questions. First, the Qt Install guide said to edit the 
.profile file. However my home directory has only a file
named .bash_profile, should this be used instead or 
should it be copied to .profile?

Second, I get the following error message when I enter
# make linux-g++-shared

   ./propagate configs/linux-g++-shared
   cmp /LICENSE: No such file or directory
   cmp /LICENSE: No such file or directory

   $QTDIR must be set t $PWD (/usr/local/qt)
   Please read INSTALL

   make: *** [linux-g++-shared] Error 1

What should be done to install this correctly?

Thanks,
Greg

I just installed Debian 2.0 but there is no driver for the
Intel EtherExpress 10+ ISA card. Does anyone know
where to get one?

StarOffice on 2.0

[gbh]

Does Debian 2.0 install the correct libraries to
run StarOffice 4.0 and 5.0 or do they need to
be downloaded?

Formatting umsdos partitions

[gbh]

I have Debian packages on a Win95 formatted disk
and need to transfer them to a Linux formatted
disk. These packages have the long filenames, they
were not downloaded from the msdos directory. However
when I try to access the files directly from Linux,
it converts the files to the 8.3 dos convention
thus losing the long filenames.

The Linux formatted disk has a spare partition
I can work with to help transfer these files.
I am wondering, if I format the spare partition
to the umsdos format, will Win95 be able to recognize
it - letting me copy the files there, and preserve
the long filenames. Then could I copy/install the
files through Linux from the umsdos partition to the
ext2 partition keeping the filenames intact?

If this is possible, how do I format the partition
to the umsdos format? The mkfs command seems to have
only msdos but not umsdos.

If this idea will not work, are there any ways to
transfer these files to my Linux file system and
preserve the long filenames?

  source for one? lowest cost preferred!

 I'm not sure if $4995 is cheap ...

You can find Multias on sale for $800 or less. Check
out comp.sys.dec and misc.forsale.computers.workstations.
You will find used machines as well as mail order houses
