I spent all of Saturday installing Debian testing on 5 Dell Optiplex 460. To make X work with the included i845 chipset, we had to go to Intel's website and download the graphics drivers that were there (these are in XFree 4.3 but Deb-test comes with 4.2.1). We also had to change two BIOS settings: - change DRM setting to "on" - Raise "VGA memory" to 8 (instead of the default 1) This might be your problem. After we were able to setup X without any problems. HTH. Emmanuel
