X and Fluxbox :: X won't start

I can't get xwindow to start, tried both xvesa and framebuffer.

With xvesa the system just hangs and with framebuffer outputs:

XIO: fatal IO error 104(Connection reset by peer) on X server ":0.0" after 0 requests (0 known processed) with 0 events remaining, any ideas? thanks

if you installed with grub (cant comment for lilo) there should be several options, try choosing one of the ones with text after it, as oposed to the one that just says "dsl"

I got that and thought my machine had suicided :phew:

nope it didn't work, I tried to boot from the CD with failsafe mode and still get the same error, what can I do? try another distro?

What video card and monitor do you have?

it's a NeoMagic 2200 and monitor 12" LCD TFT 800x600
