The log file I think is most useful. It looks like it's looking for a PCI device with a 1:0:0 signature. (I remember now being asked this question during installation. Who the heck knows what the PCI signatures are of their cards? What was the install module write thinking asking people this?)markspace wrote:
Hi all, I have a new debian install on a machine with a Geforce 2 video card. After the install was complete, the Xserver refused to start, so I have no gui. I'm not sure where to start debugging this.Look at the messages displayed on console.
Look in the log file (/var/log/XFree86.0.log).
Run startx manually, and pipe the error output to a file, and then look at the file ("startx 2 > startx.errorlog", "less startx.errorlog").
I need to switch this to an AGP port, not PCI. So far web searches haven't been very productive (lots of hits for Debian+agp+xfree86, none relavent). Anyone got a pointer?
