I hope this is the correct place to state my problem. I have tried the newsgroups but received no response.
I am a complete newbie to Linux (Debian). I thought it would be a good way to get around the glut of Windows. I am having problems with the graphics card. I installed Debian Linux 3.0 and, during the install I included XFree86. Upon booting it I get an error stating that: "I cannot start the Xserver (your graphical interface), it is likely that it is not setup correctly. Would you like to view the Xserver output to diagnose the problem?". If I reply YES I get a blank window with only the option to hit OK. If I reply NO to get a new start to enter username & password. It then says "[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$" , and then hangs because I don't know where to go from there. My only choice is Ctl+Alt+del., and get back in Windows XP. During the install I had to hunt down Xfree86, on the CD, but it, supposedly, installed with no apparent problems. I have searched the documents for a way to get any further but can find none. I figured there to be some problems with the OS but this is ridiculous. Please help before I toss the CD's.
