Thanks all for the replies.
I solved the problem with "apt-get install xserver-svga".
This worked for a short time I had a working X-server.
Now I have new problems after trying to upgrad all to unstable.
I hope I find out.

You don't actually have an a.out system do you? Which version of Debian
are you running? It's bound to be an elf system since you call yourself a
