You need a proper config (with the proper modeline), a recent kernel, and a _recent_ XFree. 4.3 might work, but I'd even suggest something more revent, like a 4.3.99 snapshot from CVS or something like that... Ben.

you may want to look into the config file of your current kernel, and take a look at the framebuffer section. i've managed to disable X a couple of times by forgetting to check the appropriate framebuffer device. i believe they have something in the kernel for various experimental nvidia drivers --

Hi Simon, sometimes the X sistem works but wrong resolution/settings prevent you seeing anything on the screen. I suspect this might be your case as otherwise you would be getting some error messages from the xserver. Try change the resolution with contro-alt and +/- (the plus or minus on your

Glad to hear you solved the problem! That's interesting that OS X supports the ext2 filesystem, and good to know -- I was always under the impressions that Mac OS and linux were mutually incompatible. And if make-kpkg works for you, that's even better. For some reason every time I've tried to use m

Hello, Nic not sure if this helps, but I think installing the kernel-image.deb file (created with make-kpkg kernel-image) just moves the new vmlinux kernel to /boot/vmlinux-2.X.XX (along with the corresponding config file) then updates the symlink between /vmlinux and the current kernel (i.e.
