I logged in as root and tried to access /etc/X11/XF86Config, but got a
"permission denied" message. How can I fix this?

Its harmless, for some reason the initscripts seem to want to start up
toshipa_acpi on all the laptops here

Another harmless initscript problem, they are not needed on 2.6

You can fix this by adding
install floppy /bin/true
to /etc/modprobe.conf

You can fix this by changing the line about hda in /etc/smartd.conf to
hdc --
the DVD drive doesn't support smart is all. Dell has the DVD on IDE0
and the
HDD on IDE1 for some bizarre reason.

You need to edit /etc/X11/XF86Config
Scroll down to section "Device", somewhere in there will be a line
beginning
Driver. Change what is after the Driver part to read "vesa". Then see
if
running startx from a console will do any better.
