Hi, John. I selected low priority for debconf, and also readline, but reconfiguring xserver-xorg produced the same short list of questions, nothing about video or monitors. I think the consensus has developed that the absence of a physical monitor connected to my system is the key. I haven't had a chance to test that yet, the only monitor here is on my wife's computer, and that's off limits <smile> Chuck On Thu, Jul 31, 2008 at 03:48:05PM -0500, John Heim wrote: > This is just a guess but i think you need to reconfigure debconf.
