Debian install and configure the basic desktop

Debian: install and configure the basic desktop-Debian, a Linux release technology. For more information, see the following. Apt-get install x-windows-system-core gnome-core

After the installation is complete, no xfree86 exists. The latest testing has started to use xorg, and I have to go back to windows and simply learn xorg operations, fortunately, it is not much different from xfree86. The default configuration file is in/etc/X11/xorg. conf: the configuration tools include xorgconfig and xorgcfg. xorgcfg is a graphical interface and the xorgcfg-textmode parameter is added as a text line. The basic configuration process is to select the mouse, keyboard, display, and graphics card, check the model of your hardware, and the keyboard and mouse can basically be default, not very difficult.

However, there were a lot of problems in the process. The first was the mouse. After xorgconfig was started, the device could not be found and the desktop could not be accessed. After investigation, my mouse was located at/dev/psaux, it is not the default/dev/mouse, so

Vi/etc/X11/xorg. conf

Find the mouse item under section "Input Device". Change option "Device" "dev/mouse" to option "Device" "dev/psaux. The mouse position may also be/dev/input/mice. If the mouse fails again, try this.

Followed by the video card, according to Andrew E. in Schulman's article, although the description is for xfree86, It is similar in fact, that is, do not select the nv driver included in the Linux Kernel During configuration, and choose the nvidia driver compiled by yourself; and, do not load GLCore and dri entries in the configuration file. Unfortunately, after I use xorgconfig for configuration, none of the above principles have been completed. xorg is automatically generated in xorgconfig. in the conf file, the glx add-on and the dri add-on are commented out with the # sign, and the GLCore item is not displayed. Therefore, I manually edited and removed the # Before glx #, but keep the ones before the dri. Then, find the module of the video card and find that the card I customized in it still indicates that the driver is nv, So I manually changed it to nvidia, save it, and exit.

The last is the sound card. My German tank did not recognize it and found the sound card chip model. alsaconf was successful once.

Next, run the command startx to jump out of the nvidia screen, indicating that the nvidia driver has been loaded successfully. Then, for the first time, I saw the gnome Interface In debian, which is really exciting!

Today is the end. You can have a good sleep.
