Re: [LUG] Newbie in trouble with X



it seems that from the error messages, x is not configured correctly, with
this distro i think the command xdrake or Xdrake from a terminal will get
the configuration program running.
I assume you have all the necessary details of your hardware etc, if not can
you boot into windoze to obtain the necessary information
