X trouble

Hi there, I'm new to unix-environments.
I'm richard, and i'm mostly a web-developer, under php. I've done work in unix env before, but never had my own.
Today, I've got debian 3.1 r4 from the official site, and i've attempted to install it twice.

I installed it initially as "Desktop Environment" and "Database server", but it wasn't working (no x). After that, i formated the old partition, reinstalled it just as desktop environment. I tried starting X (startx), but it gave a bunch of errors, weird characters, and after that, my prompt changed, and i was typing weird characters (menu constructor lines, dots, squares, etc).

rebooted, tried xf86cfg and xf86config, and after that, it just popped me "No screen found" (or display, hmm).
I really don't know what's wrong, or what do I have to do anymore. Can i find somewhere a default X configuration?

I have a Flatron L1919s, which has a native resolution of 1280x1024, a ATI X1600 video card with 256 mb ram (i tried screwing around with this values in xf86config, but it didn't work, either) and a standard keyboard and mouse (3 buttons, wheel, optical, connects to ps/2).

How can I make a small config file, and most important, how can I transfer it to debian? No internet (PPPoE, can't configure) no printer, no floppy drive. I was thinking of a RW disc, but how do i use that?

thanks

PHP-FPM(8)							Scripting Language							PHP-FPM(8)

NAME
php-fpm - PHP FastCGI Process Manager 'PHP-FPM' SYNOPSIS
php-fpm [options] DESCRIPTION
PHP is a widely-used general-purpose scripting language that is especially suited for Web development and can be embedded into HTML. This is a variant of PHP that will run in the background as a daemon, listening for CGI requests. Output is logged to /var/log/php-fpm.log. Most options are set in the configuration file. The configuration file is /etc/php-fpm.conf. By default, php-fpm will respond to CGI requests listening on localhost http port 9000. Therefore php-fpm expects your webserver to forward all requests for '.php' files to port 9000 and you should edit your webserver configuration file appropriately. OPTIONS
-C Do not chdir to the script's directory --php-ini path|file -c path|file Look for php.ini file in the directory path or use the specified file --no-php-ini -n No php.ini file will be used --define foo[=bar] -d foo[=bar] Define INI entry foo with value bar -e Generate extended information for debugger/profiler --help -h This help --info -i PHP information and configuration --modules -m Show compiled in modules --version -v Version number --prefix path -p Specify alternative prefix path (the default is /usr) --fpm-config file -y Specify alternative path to FastCGI process manager configuration file (the default is /etc/php-fpm.conf) --test -t Test FPM configuration file and exit If called twice (-tt), the configuration is dumped before exiting. --daemonize -D Force to run in background and ignore daemonize option from configuration file. --nodaemonize -F Force to stay in foreground and ignore daemonize option from configuration file. --zend-extension file -z file Load Zend extension file FILES
php-fpm.conf The configuration file for the php-fpm daemon. php.ini The standard php configuration file. EXAMPLES
For any unix systems which use init.d for their main process manager, you should use the init script provided to start and stop the php-fpm daemon. sudo /etc/init.d/php-fpm start For any unix systems which use systemd for their main process manager, you should use the unit file provided to start and stop the php-fpm daemon. sudo systemctl start php-fpm.service If your installation has no appropriate init script, launch php-fpm with no arguments. It will launch as a daemon (background process) by default. The file /var/run/php-fpm.pid determines whether php-fpm is already up and running. Once started, php-fpm then responds to several POSIX signals: SIGINT,SIGTERM immediate termination SIGQUIT graceful stop SIGUSR1 re-open log file SIGUSR2 graceful reload of all workers + reload of fpm conf/binary TIPS
The PHP-FPM CGI daemon will work well with most popular webservers, including Apache2, lighttpd and nginx. SEE ALSO
