debian post-installation and XFree86 ... my head hurt

[lamicedaxeh]

OS: debian 3.0
subject: Xfree86


First thanks joe_atlanta,fancy_piper and cheeky_zombie for ur advice to my other post. Shame I hadn't read checky_zombie first, my head won't be hurting now
:mad:

I'm trying to configure XFree86, but no matter what I do I can't seem to get it running. I've read nhf on X Window, but same result.

Hardware:

32mb NVidia TNT2 video card

LCD Monitor Samsung I believe

Pointers please

:confused:

is it (X) erroring out when you try to run it? if so plz post /var/log/XFree86.0.log

Thanks Cybr099,

Here it is!

looks like it is the wrong driver for your card.

edit your /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 file and change the video card driver from vga to nv

Many thanks Cybr099! I've managed to get x window working by disabling framebuffer. On to next problem

:D
