Do you still have the 2.2.18pre21 kernel that shipped with potato? If so,
either disable the framebuffer interface in xserver-xfree86 (dpkg-reconfigure
xserver-xfree86) or upgrade your kernel to one that supports framebuffering.
It's also probably preferable

/etc/X11/X should be pointing to an X server. Mine, for example,
is a symlink to /usr/bin/X11/XFree86 . What is the result of ls -l

Hello Charles,
You can do the command 'XFree86 --config' to get it to probe hardware
and create a generic XF86Config-4 file.
I do not know why the command 'dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86' does
not seem to be creating an XF86Config-4
file. I think that command should normally be the way to create
It might be helpful to go to http://dri.sourceforge.net.
They have a resources page which has a generic X config file for the Rage card
(and I believe it is an X4 config file).
If you download that, it will prolly just need some minor changes, but its a
good place to start.
Hope this helps

Solution to the xserver-xfree86 install problem:
In the install script /var/lib/dpkg/info/xserver-xfree86.postinst line
60 must be corrected from
ln -sf /etc/X11/X "$this_server" (MISTAKE!)
to
ln -sf "$this_server" /etc/X11/X
(a quite common mistake which I myself often go for).

And yes its been reported, and Branden has even upgraded it to
