[lug] Installing X on Debian 2.2.r2

[Nate Duehr]

I don't know anything about the particulars of the Intel 740 video card,
but Debian has excellent support through the mailing lists.

You may want to point your browser to http://lists.debian.org first and
look through the archives there, and/or subscribe to the debian-user
mailing list.

Fair warning -- the debian-user list is very high volume.  I'd highly
recommend filtering inbound mail from it into its own folder!  ;)

I use Debian on all the machines here at home -- running Stable/Potato
on the server, and Unstable/Sid on the desktop machine.  

If you need further help (other than the X config with that card -- wish
I could help on that!) feel free to holler.

The most frequent error msg is:"...socket problem: cannot connect: error 111."  Even with a virgin Debian installation I couldn't get X to work.  My system is fairly simple-- an AMD K6 450MHz chip, 6 gig HD, 96meg of RAM, and an Intel 740 video card (which is in the list that is shipped with 2.2r2.).  Can I reinstall X without disturbing the rest of my installation?
