Detailed information can help in solving hardware problems; just post information that is relevent to your hardware, as not all of it is required...

Open Appliations -> System -> Console and type in these commands as needed to in identifying the problem:

If it's a USB device:
# lsusb

If it's part from inside your computer:
# lspci

To list the drivers loaded:
# lsmod
To list just pci drivers loaded:
# pcimodules

And as a dead last resort the following command will display system information:
# dmesg
Please use dmesg info sparringly, as it's not always necessary.

A typo, I think: I assume you mean "dmesg" rather than "demesg"?

There's supposedly other Linux troubleshooting commands (lshal, lshw, etc...), but Xandros 4 only supports the ones I've posted at the top even as regular non-root user. Wink
