Hi folks,

I have a HP Pavilion laptop and I've tried to configure Xorg without
success.
I've tried perform dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg but I haven't seen any
option about LCD display as XFree86.

Please, I need some help to configure my Xserver.

What do you recommend me to do?

Thank you!
Leandro Carmo

What about xserver-xorg? XFree86 is dead for a while now, if I am not
mistaking.

As THierry said, xfree86 has been out of debian for a while. What
version of debian are you running? Can you provide the contents of
/etc/X11/xorg.conf?

and what happens when you try to startx or run gdm? is there pertinent
log data?

essentially, you need to give us a lot more, specific, information
about what is happening.

Try this.

First, see if you can get the VertRefresh and HorizSync numbers for
your LCD display. Your manual or the web page for the manufacturer
may have them.

Then, go ahead and finish dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg. At some point
you will see a question about those numbers. These are the most
important numbers, as I understand, for the display.

Note. If you get into dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg and get confused
or unsure, you can always do it over until you understand it. I have
done this many times.
