OK, maybe this is an issue, but I'm logging on as myself. I'm not root
so don't I need to preface the dpkg-reconfigure with sudo? I had to
preface the cp in line 4 with sudo.

Also maybe it is working, but when I type this command I get the
standard debconf screens where you select your chipset, etc. Is that
what I'm supposed to see?

I didn't recall entering this info during the install, I thought the X
configurator would autmagically write a config without any prompting.

Basically the AGP card on this system's fan failed and I'm using the
onboard Intel chipset. Windows says it's an Intel 82815, I choose i810
on the config screen, I get something about a PCI address, and it
never seems to work.

Thanks,
