I have been messing with linux for a while not to new to it. well i tried to install i got far in the install it went all the way and told me to log in. But i was in the command line doing this was werid so i then had to install the x-window which i did, then i did startx screen went black and came back to the command line i did this 6 times same crap the last time i did it it gave me a error which was this

XIO : fatal IO error 104 (connection reset by peer ) on X server ":0.0" after 0 requests (0 known processed ) with 0 events remaining.

sounds like you need to configure you x-windows server...

I am sure there is a program / script to do this...although I cant remember the name...

You may want to check /etc/X11/xorg.conf and see that everything seems ok. Maybe its the refresh rates?

Try to post the error message

What version of Debian are you installing?
You won't have an xorg.conf if it is Sarge.

Try reconfiguring X as dark_lord_kodd said. Do this by running

Code:

dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86

It will ask you questions about your mouse, moniter, and video card.

thanks guys but i found the main problem i did - cat /var/log/xfree86.0.log | more. and that gaave me a list of all the stuff and at the end i found the proble it was the mouse it was not set up right which im still having a problem with i have a usb mouse that connects toa adaptor to connect to the ps/2 port. But i dont know which to pick the first i picked was that /dev/input/mouse or something liek that but i dont know which to pick to make it work right.

try installing mdetect (aka apt-get install mdetect). Then run it (as root). It should find your mouse.
