Sorry for the off-topic message, but I figured that some of you may have expeirneced this problem. Have a box here. Did a pure upgrade from Etch to Sid. Prior to this, did a Standard Install, which installed Openoffice, Iceweasel, and a lot of other applications. I did not do any X Server configuration prior to the upgrade. However, when I did do an upgrade, the standard Debconf questions were asked, with one important ommision. the questions did not include and references to you're monitor type, resolution, etc. Note that the last time I did an install was on Sarje, so things may have changed. So what is needed to configure the local display for Xorg use? This particular machine has a Nvidia Geforce2 w/64MB of ram, so it's most probably included within the legacy drivers section. I'm using the stock 2.6.18-speakup kernel from the speakup_netinst CD. Asides from the kernel, this is an up-to-date Sid machine. --Erik eheil at sdf.lonestar.org SDF Public Access UNIX System - http://sdf.lonestar.org
