Try running XF86Setup - also, even though you may have uninstalled the xbase package, the configuration files were probably left behind.
use 'dpkg --purge package_name' to remove the configuration files as well. Make sure you install the package xserver-svga - though it sounds like you already did this. Then try running the XF86Setup as root, to re-set up the XF86Config. On 15-Sep-98 Eric Fain wrote: > So I had a box going with a Matrox Millenium PCI card, up for a year > without problems.
