Greetings,
The subject line pretty much says it all. I have a compaq presario 2105; I used the lord sutch mini-image to make a debian install disc, then installed using dselect. I used dselect to install X, but couldn't actually get it running. I went to the XFree86.org site and installed from binaries, and spent most of the weekend trying various tweaks to the XFree86 config file created alternately by XFree86, xf86config and xf86cfg; all to no avail. Finally I tried building from source last night, but this was completely over my head. The build choked when it couldn't find a file ("pam_application" I think it was) and I really didn't know enough about what I was doing to know how to correct and procede.
I hope this shows enough effort on my part that some kind soul will show pity on me and help me get this running. I used to have an RH9 install, X worked fine from the install disc. I want to get my head around Debian. I know this isn't a debian list, but I don't really think it's a debian issue, I think it's an, "I don't really grok X" issue. All help appreciated.
