But your config file is using the S3 one. So the problem could be that the driver is driving one board while your monitor is plugged on the other one.

Bruce et al, Been busy with other things for a while, but getting back to my Debian install problems, or more specifically my inability to get X up and running. More details as requested: - computer is a Dell Dimension V400 - Pentium II processor 400 MHz - 64MB System RAM - Phillips Brilliance 150P2 monitor I'm not sure which video board I'm using. If I go into the bios on PC it says it is using an AGP video adapter if that helps? I have attached the output of /usr/share/bug/xserver-xorg/script 3 as requested. As before, any help or suggestions much appreciated. I am a complete novice with this and really don't know what else to try.

Does anybody have any more ideas/suggestions on how to resolve this problem? I sent the output of lspci -nn as requested, but haven't heard anything since then (almost two weeks ago).

No luck with shiftcontrol+ or shiftcontrol-. I also ran through the reconfiguration for X (dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg) but I just accepted all the defaults as they seemed reasonable and I didn't know any better. End result is probably that I'm still running same configuration. As requested by Otavio, I have attached the output of lspci -nn in the hope that this will help diagnosis.

Two or more things flash up but can't see what they are. When press Off switch can see that 4 more items ran/started, last of which was the scheduler - crond. Yes, that proves my guess. You're having trouble with X. When your screen gets black, please go to console 2 (Ctrl-Alt-F2) and log in. After that, get the output of: lspci -nn And send it to the bug report so we can identify your video adapter and its pci ids so we can try to work on that. Another nice thing to do is to try to install Lenny and check if it properly detects your video adapter. You can grab a mini installation CD at http://people.debian.org/~joeyh/d-i/images/daily/netboot/mini.iso or you can upgrade your system (new install is eaiser) using aptitude.
