    greetings,

    I've been working on a debootstrap install of what will ultimately be
    pure sid on an extra partition. Got a base system up and running with no
    apparent problems, but when I went for an x-windows system I encountered
    a serious issue: hard lock-up upon starting x. can't ssh in or anything
    (yes sshd is running ;P ).

    I've googled a lot and found someone with the same problem that was not
    apparently resolved:
    http://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2004/10/msg00728.html

    My problem appears to exactly match his right down to matching
    xfree86.0.log.

    logs and lspci below.

    so I know the thing is do-able 'cause I'm using an HD install of knoppix
    right now and it works great,,, I tried copying over XF86Config-4 from
    knoppix partitions, but no go. also follow some of Andrew Schueller(?)'s
    advice on using nvidia instead of nv to no avail. so I'm looking for
    some direction and help is appreciated.

    (meanwhile, gotta redo my debootstrap, errant space-bar-thumb results in
    rm -rf /etc /X11 instead of rm -rf /etc/X11. oh well ;)

    thanks
