Kent and others,
Problem Solved!
It took two things to manually change in the XF86Config-4 file...
(1) BusID "PCI:0:8:0" was added right after driver "s3" in
"Device" section referring to the video card. This was an absolute
MUST in my system.
(2) Changed the default depth from 24 to 8.

Thanks Kent for the reply... there was no BusID given

I don't think that's actuall
You could try chedking the hardware compatibility list to see if your
video card is listed as supported hardware.
You might try /usr/X11R6/bin/xf86config or xf86cfg and walk through the
configuration selecting as a first step a bog standard vga
configuration.

Hi
could you explain how I get the old packages ie: what i use in apt-get ?
I did an apt-get install xserver-svga (this is the server I use) and
it installed some other stuff and then just changes the symlink.
Good luck,
Frank

That's a question I've been asking myself for quite a while. It looks
like the 3.3.6 packages have dependencies with the 4.x packages on my

In your "Monitor" section of XF86Config-4, try putting:
Option "IgnoreEDID" "on"
and/or don't load the "vbe" module. I'm not sure what these are
about, however.
I'm using XF86Config rather than XF86Conf

Hi Jeff;
Last night I've done a few things -- install the XFree86 X windows
system; run
the make xconfig; and finally compiled the kernel.
Get the basics of XFree86 from Debian
1. xbase
2. xfntbase
3. xlib6g
4. xserver-vga16 or xserver-svga or xser
I don't know about "X-pert", but your problem sounds to me like a
misconfiguration of the /etc/X11/XF86Config file.
As kind of a "nut shell" explaination:
The X server looks in the file to figure out "what you want" and "what
it can give you". In your case, it is unable to find a "legal"
