Well there were a few differences in terms of what I was asked during
the install. I'm guessing that the problem I'm having now has to do
with the display drivers. Last time the install couldn't sense what
the adapter was and asked me some questions about the physical size of
my monitor. This time it presented a list of adapters and I selected
the highlighted one. The display was sharp, in focus and perfect
during the install and while it is booting the text is perfect, then
at about the point that the login screen should appear the display
goes, not black, but a grainy grey with fine reddish streaks.
The video adapter is built into the mother board and so I went to the
HP web site to see if I could find out what it is and this is what I
found;
Video Graphics down (on motherboard) integrated in chipset. No AGP
slot. Attribute Properties Video graphics PCI local bus
Controller Intel 810 E Video memory 11 MB shared memory ;
integrated graphics;
not upgradable Feature connector (game/joystick) Yes Resolutions:
640 x 480 16/256/32 K/64 K/16.7 M colors
800 x 600 16/256/32 K/64 K colors
1024 x 768 16/256/32 K/64 K colors
1280 x 1024 256 colors
So any idea how I can fix this problem without having to wipe the
drive and re-install (1.5 hours to download the 500 odd meg of files)
and then guess again as to the proper diver?
There should be no need to reinstall (unless it turns out that Sarge is
too old for your video card, but I don't think so). You have a
configuration problem somewhere; maybe you are producing a video signal
that is out of range for the monitor.
Please post the output of the following three commands:
lspci | egrep -i 'video|vga|display'
awk '/Section "(Device|Monitor)"/,/EndSection/' /etc/X11/xorg.conf
egrep '^\((EE|WW)\)' /var/log/XFree86.0.log
