Some hardware is being re-detected during startup, some is not. The thing coming closest to what you want to achieve is to boot off the live cd and replace xorg.conf with xorg.conf as generated by the live cd.
I don't know- with a different monitor, it worked like a charm. No problems at all. Then again, I installed the Debian install with the old CRT monitor, and not the LCD. Is there, by any chance, that we could "re-do" the hardware detection like the LiveCD does?

Two things:
-It seems the Xorg.conf created by Knoppix has disappeared. I simply can't find it. It's odd, as I found one while I was editing the old one.
-I found a file in /hda2/etc/X11 called "default-display-manager." I changed this to both kdm and xdm, but it still failed to start saying neither of these was the default display manager.
Do you think that deleting the file "default-display-manager" might do something?
I doubt that deleting even more files is going to help. What about saving your data to an external drive and doing a fresh install?Do you think that deleting the file "default-display-manager" might do something?
Argh, looks, like I'll have to. Thanks for all the help, anyway.
