I have tried to edit and change around the config file etc. But I always get the same message.

Where could I find the BUS Identifier, Name etc...

VideoCard
manufacturer and model number of the videocard, type of graphics card and chipset, amount of video memory, and color depth (8,16,24,32, etc.)

Monitor Dell E77S3 crt
The manufacturer and model number for the monitor along with the maximum resolution, vertical refresh rate, and horizontal refresh rate.

I am currently using Windows XP SP2
:scratch:

    apt-get remove xserver-xfree86


    apt-get install xserver-xfree86

    dpkg-reconfigure xserevr-xfree86

    I had a simular problem with xorg, I just nano'd my xorg.conf file where I found a few lines that were wrong, changed them and was back in business.


    What distro are you using. I see its debian based. I use Ubuntu with gnome and xfce

    Debian 3.1r0a stable version

    the thing is I haven't even seen my desktop yet because xserver won't load or something

    and how would I go about loading these 3rd party drivers.

    Its not a zip


    And just burn it to a cd :)


    debian will automaticly mount it to /cdrom too.

    That means just type in cd /cdrom/
    then do the commands in my readme.

    still nothing I even tried dev/cdrom but it says access denied even when I am logged in as root

    is there a way I can get access

    I didn't associate the SUID files thing with the drive

    This is what I typed in

    1

    cd/cdrom/ dpkg -i fglrx-drver

    type this in
    cd /cdrom


dpkg -i fglrx-driver_8.10.19-1_i386.deb


dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86
    when asked what videocard you have select fglrx.
