startx won't work. No GUI!

Hi,
I've been using BT4r2 ever since it was released and now I have run into a really annoying problem. I upgraded to BT5 and now startx no longer works out of the box and gives me these errors

Code:

---

[drm] failed to open devices
VESA(0): no valid modes
Screens found but, no usable configuration.

---

I can't figure out what package fixvesa (or fix-vesa, people say it is either) is from (as it is not a program listed on this computer), starting there would probably be the best bet.

I am running a P4 laptop with an integrated graphics card. It is a Dell Inspiron 5160.

Hi, People Who Don't Exist here:

I made a tutorial on how to fix this. Its a 2 part series Part 1 is the error Part 2 is the fix.

If those dont work try this in console type "fix-vesa" without quotes, still no go try this in console type "locate "xorg.conf" no quotes, direct yourself into that tree and type "nano xorg.conf" delete everything and then save, your video cards rom bios and firmware should rewrite the X server conf.

Are you using KDE, Busy Box, or Gnome? 64 or 32 bit? Did you check your MD5, all else fails re-burn the image of BT5 at 1x or 2x not 16X, then reinstall complete hard drive or allocate a partition as you wish.

I can't find fix-vesa, I need to install it from somewhere first. Also your video tutorials don't work, I still have the same problem.

Also, there are many xorg.conf files, which one do I edit?

hi
before typing startx
type this
rm /root/.kde/cache-root/icon-cache.kchace

rm /root/.kde/cache-root/plasma_theme_Volatile.kcache

rm /root/.kde/cache-bt/icon-cache.kchace

rm /root/.kde/cache-bt/plasma_theme_Volatile.kcache

guess it should works ;)

Unfortunately, that didn't work. How do I use fix-vesa, it is not a program listed on my computer (I did a locate "fixvesa" and locate "fix-vesa" neither worked)
