Dotan, judging from other postings re. your various problems I think you 
must have buggered your installation more than a little bit. I would 
actually suggest a reinstall so you get a clean sheet. Read the link I 
sent you earlier all through (it is now 15 pages long) and note down all 
possible problems etc. For example; when I install using alternate CD I 
must disconnect the network and not define any network parameters. 
Otherwise the CD stops at 85%.. and the xserver/xorg problem is outlined 
how to fix. Once you have Powerguidance (very basic but works) then you 
can set the changes in ACPI and get things working.
