    I have debian 3.0r2 woody. I have an on board graphics controller Intel
    845G/L (Brookdale). X server is not starting on my computer. It gives
    the error "No devices detected". I have tried everything from Modifying
    the XF86Config-4 file to recompiling the kernel(with appropriate
    drivers) to re-installing the system with different boot options (bf24,
    vanilla etc.,) and none of them has worked. I've tried kernels 2.4.28-13
    and 2.4.20. Previously I was using Red Hat 8.0 and everything was fine,
    I was using kernels 2.4.18-14 and 2.4.20. It even worked on a Linux
    distribution based on Fedora core 2.
    BTW, I am also not able to play MP3s using mpg123/mpg321. It says unable
    to open any libao drivers for device .(libao is installed). I have an on
    board sound card that came with the 845G chipset -- ICH(?).

    Can someone (probably with the same hardware) give me step by step
    instructions on getting X and audio working.

    Thanks for any help.
