Bug Description
i'm trying to install Edgy Eft Knot 3 on a Dell Latitude D620.
when i boot the installation CD (desktop-i386.iso), the installation fails because the X server is unable to start.
Windows Device Manager reports that the display adapter is a Mobile Intel 945GM Express Chipset Family.
here're the error messages issued by the installer:
"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?
