Re: Xorg will not start no matter what I do
Ken Heard([EMAIL PROTECTED]) is reported to have said: I recently installed Etch RC1 in a P3 box. The smoke test succeeded up to the point where Xorg was to be loaded -- it would not load. I ran dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg several times. Each the time process was able to configure automatically the keyboard, mouse, video card and monitor settings without my intervention. I checked the log file and xorg.conf but could find nothing amiss. Can anyone suggest what to do now? Ken To troubleshoot your problem more information would help.

This is where I'd start; I'd see if I could fix the kbd and mouse issue. Google returned a hit at http://forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php?t=8510sid=2796a3ae02b988a9a8ef71fee66b3906 which suggested (between the lines) modprobe mouse for the mouse problem. Another hit I found indicated a problem with udev (not being installed). Try cat /dev/mousedevice, where mousedevice is the device file for your mouse connection, such as /dev/input/mice, etc and then move your mouse around. You should see a lot of ASCII garbage show up on the screen. (Ctrl-C to stop the cat.) This will verify if your mouse is being seen by the system. Also, does lspci report your video card to be on 1:0:0? -- Kent West Westing Peacefully http://kentwest.blogspot.com -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

On my system, the config file has keyboard instead of kbd, and I don't know about mouse, but I use evdev (lets you use more buttons, etc). Try switching to keyboard and evdev and see if that helps.
