I have a dell Latitude Cpx H craptop and i have just installed debian on it. As usual, dell is stupid and never tells me what X server driver it uses, so i naturally have to reinstall debian more than 6 times. This time, after i chose all my extra packages, my X server doesn't work again, and i can't get the crap top to get to the point where i can show you guys the bad output. I remember from looking at it that the output said that there were no devices, so i just got more confused.
Please Help Me.
PS i just want to go wardriving with the thing, i bought a Buffalo wireless card and i don't know what software to use with debian. Thanks again.

Bad Video Drivers/ what should i do
You need to provide more information.
We'll have to rely on some command line to get the necessary information, so let's do the following:
1. Insert a floppy.
2. Mount the floppy with this command:
mount -t vfat /dev/fd0 /floppy
3. Copy your XF86Config-4 file into the floppy with this command:
cp /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 /floppy/
4. Create a file with the contents of dmesg to the floppy with this command:
dmesg > /floppy/dmesg.txt
5. Copy any log file under /var/log/ that you consider related to xfree, into the floppy with this command:
cp /var/log/<file name> /floppy
6. Unmount the floppy with this command:
umount /dev/fd0 /floppy
Then, from another computer, paste the contents here.
