Hi,

I stared to install Debian on an EeePC 901 using the custom EeePC installer
from http://wiki.debian.org/DebianEeePC/HowTo/Install#head-ef5d38f1b349f697fbdc54de64e3e070b6e2144c

My system can access the network and boots correctly, but I cannot start the
X with "startx" command. The graphic screen appears for 1 second then disappears
and the following error messages are shown:

> [config/hal] couldn't initialise context: (null) ((null))
>
> waiting for X server to shut down .FreeFontPath: FPE "/usr/share/fonts/X11/misc"
>  refcount is 2, should be 1; fixing.

I couldn't find any information on this on the following pages
  - http://wiki.debian.org/DebianEeePC/Model/901
  - http://wiki.debian.org/DebianEeePC/HowTo/Configure#head-15f08cc2a92c77c1fbbecf23b20c03f179def73a

Can anybody tell what should I try to get X working?

Regards,

	Márton Németh
