XWindows config is a science all its own, due to the great
variety of hardware out there. But to start,
dpkg-reconfigure xserver-sfree86
Then if that doesn't do it, search at xfree86.org, and post on a list
there, or on debian-user. This list is actually for development of
the installer, and X configuration is beyond its scope.
