So once again I thank you all so very much for your time !! dpkg-reconfigure xserver-common may help you, but I think if you want to really use your vid card, you're going to have to use X 4 - Adrian Bunk has backported some packages for potato that you can find on debian.org. If neither of these solutions work for you, write back with specific error messages and people can help you work through this.

X Install problems-Re-Install X only ?
Hi Folks, I've now got myself a copy of the 4 binary cd's,the 2.2_r4 version. I made it to the point of configging x where upon the install went badly wrong. It found my video card well enough ( an nvidia tnt2 m64 something w/32 mg o' ram :-)...it's an agp card.. the motherboard is a K7S5A w/an athlon 750 & 256 meg o'ram...anyways.. the xconfig file never got installed..I know this. It was trying to load,I got a message saying to push "ok" to switch to graphics mode..then I'd get an error message something along the lines of "ernno11" ? It did not give me a signal 11..(at least that I know of) like I was getting when trying to install this in another box . Which I never did get to install...(an FIC 503+, k6 2-500 in an AT case) Well I had to do a crtl-alt-delete to get the machine to stop cycling between the error messages because x was certainly not going to load that I could see. So I get back to log in well enough (am able to do so,as root too ). I'm even able to cruise my directories via midnight commander..get to linuxconf and a few other places..just not load x (of course not cause xconfig never got loaded !!) When I type "startx" now I get errors along the lines of "/usr/bin/x11/xauth error in loading shared libraries libXmu.so.6 cannot open shared libraries" Or "xinit error" and the like... So my question is..how do I load x again in Debian without going thru a complete install again ? I took the advanced route (omg the the package selection here is outstanding). I love what I see from debian so far,just wish I could get it to run..lol. If I was still in Mandrake I'd know what to do, but the vibes from Debian are really nice :-). So once again I thank you all so very much for your time !! Lee
