just installed 9.04 and got an error from x.
worked fine when booting from the CD, but now that it's installed properly it returns the error
"Failed to start the x server (your graphical interface). It is likely that it is not set up correctly. Would you like to view the x server output to diagnose the problem?"
"Warning: Failsafe mode was already attempted within 30 seconds
Warning: Falling back to gdm to report the issue.
^Y"
"The x server is now disabled. Restart GDM when it is configured correctly."
I guess it's a problem with an unrecognised graphics card so I stop the gdm, then put in "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" to try and change some settings, but the prompt stops early, kicking me back into the terminal after setting the keyboard options with the message:
"xserver-xorg postinst warning: overwriting possibly-customised configuration file; backup in /etc/X11/xorg.cong.20090704164206"
I'm confused, anyone got any ideas?
