Bug Description
Binary package hint: xserver-
Hardy: Alpha 2
I installed from netboot using hardy repositories.
Upon first boot, the console flashes three or four times and the XKeepsCrashing script pops up.
I can send full Xorg.0.log if needed.
Below are snippets from Xorg.0.log

Okay, I seem to have resolved this problem on my own.
I edited my /etc/X11/xorg.conf and inserted
within: Section "Screen"
I know this is a trivial fix for me, but a lambda user would be stuck. I was honestly expecting the
BulletProof X system or something to show up. XKeepsCrashing does not offer much help.
I was also surprised to discover that there is no text-mode X configurator (at least that I could find).
