Hi Khai,
I'm running DSL on an Inspiron 3200 too - for all of a week, so I'll give this a shot. Assuming you've already extracted the files from knoppix_svga.tgz, there should have been both a "XF86Config" and a "XF86_SVGA" present afterwards. One of them is the binary executable which starts X - "XF86_SVGA", the other is the configuration file which the executable reads to know how X should be configured. - "XF86Config" .
In order to know what's going on, do the following:
- reboot the machine and login as "root"
- cd to the dir where you unpacked the "knoppix_svga.tg" file, and run the following command:
ls -l XF86*
- make sure that both the SVGA and the Config files are present
- check that the /etc/X11/ directory exists by typing:
ls -ld /etc/X11
- if the X11 dir exists, then try copying the Config file into it again.
cp XF86Config /etc/X11/
Note that the commands and filenames are case-sensitive.
