ends up with this error line after a few II and the WW failed to load apm:
XIO fatal IO error 104 (connection reset by peer) on X server ":0.0" after 0 requests (0 known processed) with 0 events remaining.
I think that's startx complaining that the X server has died, rather than what actually killed the X server. What are the lines immediately before that? Feel free to email me the full log offlist and I'll summarise the interesting bits to the list.
In dpkg-reconfigure -xserver-xfree86 I listed it on the AGP bus (where it physically is). Is it the case some inconsistencies are in the system about HW configuration and actual status?
It *might* be. Another trick you can try is telling the config screen that you only have a standard VESA card. That should get you a working X, at least.
As usual many thanks for your help.
That's OK. As a favour in return, can you trim quoted material and reply beneath it please? Makes it a lot easier for us to follow. Thanks.
