Only the configuration tools usually vary between distributions. Did you try lowering the refresh rate? My TFT panel won't refresh nearly as fast as my old CRT monitor, so when I first plugged in the flat panel it didn't work with X either. I had to re-run the configuration tool first. > I've since bought Red Hat 9.0. You should find that easier to install than Debian if you're new to Linux. I suggest you set up the machine for the Planet CCRMA packages after installation - that will give you ALSA and everything else you need: http://ccrma-www.stanford.edu/planetccrma/software/ Glad you were inspired by the SoS article!
