installing X

I just installed Debian 3.0 on my laptop. I used the utility to install the x packages, and some others. For some reason they didn't install.

I tried a 'startx'
and 'X'

but I guess none of these packages installed. How do I install X?

You used what utility to install the X packages?

I'm not normally a Debian user, but 'apt-get install gnome' (or KDE, fluxbox, or whatever) should resolve all dependencies and take care of everything.

Me either .. i am not A debian user, but perhaps you can find the answer here :

and about "startX" i found the answer here :

Does the file /usr/X11R6/bin/X exist? It should be installed by the
xserver-common package. Do you have an X server installed? Try:

apt-get install xserver-xfree86

Real post here

I copy the statement to make sure you got the point.

exellent, I did a apt-get install x-window system. Installed fine without any problems. Now I have to install kde.. hopefully I don't screw this up. Thanks for the help guys

I installed kde, and as it loads I get an error:

modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module char-major-13

I tried searching some information on google, but I couldn't find anything
