Transfer Hard Drive to New PC Video Error (Solved)

[deancicca]

I just got a new pc kit, got it together with a new Acer X193WCbd 19" Widescreen LCD Monitor - 1440x900. I popped in my HD from my old pc and I keep getting this error below, it lets me login as root but will not startX. Is there something I should first on my old pc before putting the hd into the new pc?

login as root --then type video---then setup new video card and monitor

And if it fails you can try XFdrake.

Thanks, video -- seemed to work after a few tries of getting it stay put.    Would not recognize xfdrake at all for some reason, I had tried that previously.  Kept telling me did not exist.

XFdrake and xfdrake are not the same. Don't forget Linux is a Unix like system.

Yes I understand, just a normal way of typing for me for a response.
