Today ive tried to install slitaz on my old machine, but i have no gui after the boot. I tried "startx" command but i get an error message, something like these: "fatat server error: no screen found". I verified the xorg.conf file, it was empty, after these i genereated a new one with "X -configure" command and copied the content of the new xorg.conf file to /etc/X11/xorg.conf. After these i tried the "startx" command, ive get the same error like the beginning.
Some notes: i have an integrated nvidia graphics card ( i think it is a 7025 one), and i dont have a ext3/ext4 formated partition ( i read somewhere that if you dont have a formated partition into ext3 or ext4 the Xorg couldnt start - these could be my problem?). At the moment im not at home, so some informations provided in these post could be incorrect, when i will be at home i will fix these errors. THX

Sorry for my bad english. When GUI disappeared? When you boot livecd or already installed SliTaz?
Offline
If livecd, it unnecessary to have ext3 or ext4 or any other partition. Because livecd put itself to RAM and do not need any hard drive.
If you want to install SliTaz, Installator automaticly formate partion that your choose to ext3.

@outwork
If your connected to internet
Login to console as root password: root
tazx
Choose nv for nvidia
Should recharge tazpkg then download/install nv and configure xorg
Use either startx or /etc/init.d/slim start to start xorg
For more help give the complete output:
uname -a
lspci -nn | grep -i VGA

@Tommy Gunn: it is a livecd

I installed the nvidia driver but i get an error message (i will update my post with the exact error message)
update: the error message after installing the nvidia driver:

The nv driver doesn't work with your graphics.
Try configuring xorg.conf to get a screen with the vesa driver.

I have an old xorg.conf file (it was generated about 2 years ago in ubuntu). Can I use these settings to create the new xorg?
The xorg.conf file: http://pastebin.com/upM2c243
"The nv driver doesn’t work with your graphics."
I dont have to install nvidia driver?

I created a new xorg.conf file from my old config file. Here it is: http://pastebin.com/VcThiE1L
I replaced the old one with these and after these i typed "startx", the problem is the same: “fatat server error: no screen found” I made a mistake in the xorg.conf file or the file is incomplet? I must to type any command to use the new xorg.conf settings? any suggestion? Thx

update: here is my Xorg.0.log file: http://pastebin.com/Jx2xGPLN
There is an error at the end of the file:
[ 332.019] (II) The server relies on udev to provide the list of input devices.
If no devices become available, reconfigure udev or disable AutoAddDevices.
[ 332.019] (EE) NV: The PCI device 0x10de03d6 ((null)) at 00@00:13:0 has a kernel module claiming it.
[ 332.019] (EE) NV: This driver cannot operate until it has been unloaded.
[ 332.019] Number of created screens does not match number of detected devices.
Configuration failed.
I think these could be the key of my problem. Please help me!

nouveau module in linux-drm is a problem.
Add screen=text to bootcode
Login as root password: root
#tazpkg remove linux-drm
When you're asked if you want to remove packages depending on it hit Enter(No)
#tazx
Install nv
#/etc/init.d/slim start
Offline
Thank you for the reply. Ive tried what you said but these dont resolved my problem (ive get these same error). Other suggestion?
Offline
Add nomodeset to bootcode
#tazx
Install nv
#/etc/init.d/slim start

Yes! Finally the desktop appears, but the image quality is ultra-low ( there is a problem with the refresh too ) how can i fix it?
update: i resolved the problem, now the screen is sharp (installed lxrandr and set the refresh rate to 60Hz)
The current maximum resolution is now 1024x768. How can I add 1280x1024? Thx
Offline
I've never been able to get a resolution higher than 1024x768 with the VESA driver.
Look at your Xorg.0.log ,usually it's hardware limitations because you don't have sufficient video memory to drive the display.Xorg-server will try numerous resolutions and give the reason it failed in the log.
Offline
but i use the"nv" driver, not the VESA.
P.S. I will update my post with the Xorg.0.log file. Thank you for your support, i learned a lot 
Offline
I've pretty much the same problem, how did you exactly fix this, i tried the fixes described in the posts above. boot with screen=text and nomodeset run tazx install xorg, install nv driver (i got nvidia video card, vesa driver has same problem, tried that too). it gives error: "screen number doesn't match or something". what should i do?
