Try startx w/o framebuffer.

Go to /etc/X11/XF86config-4, search section device and change the option
FBDev to false. This was enough to get it work for me.

Hi,
 
i'm quite new to linux and i have an annoying problem...
 
i just reinstalled debian (stable 3.0) and used tasksel to select some
packages, one of them the kde graphical environment.
 
after the installation i got some automated setup stuff, telling me to
select my gfx card etc (it's a matrox productiva g100 agp), then i tried
running startx and it crashed on me saying: no usable screens found
 
any ideas?
 
thanks for the help,
andy
