Problem booting live CD

[yomama07024]

After typing in "root" and then "toor", I type "startx" and this doesn't work. I tried "xconf" and then "startx" and that didn't help either. Can someone please help me boot. I am using a laptop. It is a Dell Inspiron E1505. The message I get after typing "startx" is:

"(EE) VESA(0): No matching modes
(EE) Screen(s) found, but none have a usable configuration.

Fatal server error:
no screens found
giving up.
xinit: Connection reset by peer (errno 104): unable to connect to X server
xinit: No such process (errno 3): Server error.

What does the lspci for the device output? Chances are your video chipset isn't supported.

try configure your xorg to use vesa driver
probably will work .

X -configure ( for automatic configuration ) or xorgsetup ( manual configuration )

Yea, vesa will probably work. That dell laptop has a not normal resolution though, so it might not look too good.

I'[m having the same issue (same errors) on an HP compaq 6715e. Wierd as BT3 works on my Dells no problem...
