Re: linux - no gui

[gustavo halperin <ggusti@xxxxxxxxx>]

Look, your xorg.conf looks very suspicious. First you need say us which 
computer do you have,
That is a Laptop or what, second I recommend you search in the Internet 
(maybe www.google.com/linux)
for some one with the same Graphic Card like you and take her 
XF86Config-4 to you.
I also don't understand why if you did install X.org do you ask your 
question in the XFree86 mailing list.
Last I send you a file XF86Config-4.vesa, just back up your xorg.conf 
and replace it by my config file,
in ,y config file I use the general driver vesa that commonly work for 
all the graphic card but whit out any
acceleration. After well when we will know what is your Graphic Card we 
will can try the specific one for
you.
In order to know which Graphic Card do you have try run the function 
'lspci' and recognize there the
Graphic Card or just send my the output and I will try help you.

  Good luck
