I would appreciate any help to get the Xserver working with Debian. I have been told many times that Debian is the best distro so when the Australian Personal Computer Magazine for June 2004 had a free DVD with this distro I had to try it. But after the complete installation has gone apparently perfectly, it makes several attempts to bring up the GUI and collapses with ¨no screens¨. I have been through this several times, always with the same result.
Now I have used several other distros and versions and my system has always automatically set up XFree86 so what is wrong with Debian? I have reverted to Mandrake 9.2 for the moment.
I attach the Xfree86.0.log file from my Debian attempts. Apologies for the size of this file.
My screen is a LG L1512S although Morphix and Knoppix say it is a GSM 3b64. It appears to only want to operate at 1024x768 which is OK with me. The on-board video card is SiS650. I see that Debian 3.0r2 uses XFree86 4.3.0 which is the same as with Knoppix although the kernel versions are not the same.
Should I copy the XF86Config and XF86Config-4 files produced by Knoppix and replace those created by Debian?
Please help! Log file is attached.
This log is not from Debian and I don't see any "no screens found" errors there.
