startx told me that it was not supported by the adapter. So I changed
it from 16 to 8 and it worked.
Also: it would be nice if the xdebconfigurator could mention that we
need to run dexconf after - I'm a newbie at the Debian configuration
tools and I had no idea you had to do that.
Thanks,
Ricky Ng-Adam
