G'Day there , My first time here, great Forum.
My problem is I am using a debian based distro in Kanotix(excellent), & I upgraded from XFree86 to Xorg & everything was great for a while.
But then I saw a nother package I thought was related to Xorg ,but I cant remember exactly what it was called ? then when it was time 4 synaptic to install it after downloading, it asked which one I wanted as my default server "Xorg" the one I was using, or the new "xorg!!!" that I thought was just a addon for the xorg I was already using. and I chose the new package. now I cant get my X to start.
AnyWay I was hoping if someone new if there was away I could change back to the original "Xorg" ? maybe by editing a file, but i'm not sure which file it is. Also is there away I could find out what the name of this Xorg pkg was so that maybe I can uninstall it & reinstall the original Xorg if that would work that is?
apparently there is a command I can type that might give me the packages installed that start with or have " Xorg" in it?
Sorry for a tough first up question.

Problem with X
If kdm is already installed, you can type
as root to reselect it.
Code: Select all
dpkg-reconfigure kdm
After you reinstall, install xorg like this
Alt + Ctrl + F1 --> login as root
init 3
apt-get update ,
update-scripts-kanotix.sh,
apt-get install xserver-xorg
apt-get dist-upgrade (just do a plain upgrade not dist-upgrade till things settle down)
/etc/init.d/x11-common start
apt-get clean
fix-fonts
reinstall ATi/ nVidia drivers (if necessary)
init 5 & exit
Alt + Ctrl + F1 --> login as root
