Hy!
I have a Fujitsu-Siemens Amilo Si 1848+u notebook, with an X1300 Ati card in it.
I have already installed to the HD the BT3 Usb version (I've got a lot errors booting, the plain version, so a burned to DVD the Usb version).
The only mode to boot up the Dvd is the VESA KDE mode, othervise, when i log in, and type startx , it writes that no monitor devices, and Fatal error.
So i used Vesa Kde mode, with it i can use the Live Cd.
I followed the steps in the installation guide, and I could do it :)
but the only problem is that, I having the same problem, like when I was trying the Live cd.
So I decided to boot up in GRUB, like in VESA KDE mode,
title Back|Track
root (hd0,3)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz vga=0x317 root=/dev/sda4 ro autoexec=kdm
I also tried to copy the initrd.gz file to the /boot/ directory, and add the " initrd=/boot/initrd.gz" to the Grub config file. (I'm not an old Linux user, I don't realy know, what the initrd does, but just look that: I'm trying! :D )
I also tried these options:
/boot/vmlinuz vga=0x317 root=/dev/sda4 ro autoexec=xconf;kdm
/boot/vmlinuz vga=0x317 root=/dev/sda4 ro
My final try was to copy the " /etc/X11/xorg.conf-vesa from the Cd to my sda4/etc/X11/xorg.conf
Unfortunately, it didn't worked.
So I would like to ask for your help, becouse I can't solve this problem on my own.
Thanks for responsing!

FINALLY I have solved my problem on my own. I'm very proud... :)
So, the question is, that why is it runing with the Vesa configurationand why don't run normally?
That's why i've tried to copy a Vesa conf file, and overwrite the original.
I have done it through the Live cd..., but didn't worked, but now!!! under the installed Bt3 from HD, it is working.
So how i solved it:
just rename the " /dev/X11/xorg.conf-vesa to xorg.conf"
Remember to make a backup from the original xorg.conf!!
