Just a thought about running xfree86. Have you thought of trying a generic vga adaptor driver?? I would expext, indeed I believe all video cards support basic VGA resolutions up to 1024*768 and then there are the VESA modes also. You may not be able to use mesa or other 3d acceleration but I don't see why X wouldn't be able to run.

Anyone beg to differ?

All the best with this really nice os. I'm muddling about with Woody too.

After a busy few weeks I finally had the oppurtunity to sit down and start to
look around my new Debian Woody install.  I still don't have Xwindows cause
my radeons not supported.  I wanted to start getting to know this OS, when I
started with RedHat, I had a nice BIG book to read from.

Is there a BIG book of Debian, either downloadable or bought that is highly
recommended for Newbies.  (Advanced Network Administration for Debian Servers
is out of the question, something more of the "Using Debian ... the How to
find your arse with both hands guide.", type flavour)
