I'm trying to run startx - and getting the following message: You must provide a "Screen" section in XF86Config for at least one of the following graphics drivers: vga16, mono Fatal server error: No configured graphics devices System is Debian 3.3, SVGA server installed. In the XF86Config section, there is only a Screen section for the SVGA server, no section for vga16 or mono. Any thoughts?

Xconfigurator If you don't, then you'll need to run xf86config (should be in /usr/X11R6/bin for both) xf86config will take a few times through before you get used to it. You can control-C out, too. :) Addison

If you go into a mode the monitor won't handle, and might overrun it, control-alt-backspace will kill X. How many bitplanes are you running? (you can start it with.. er.. been a couple years... um.. "startx --bpp32"? (or 16 or 24). Addison
