I all, I'm very new to Linux and tried to install a debian 3.0r1 on my laptop (Sony Vaio with ATI Mobility Radeon 7500).
Basic configuration with (ether)network runs fine. In the Tasksel I marked the desktop and laptop options, and hoped to get a graphical working enironment :-( After a while I recognized that I had to install a Xserver, so I tried to install: apt-get install xserver-xfree86 This command installed a 4.2.1 version of xfree, but after rebooting the system and starting xserver via gdm automatically, I run into errors once again. Error messages mentioned that no screens where found... Any idea what to install for a basic debian with kde or gnome on a vaio with ati radeon? I just need to run a webserver and a browser on this installation, no games or the like... best regards norbert
