This rather mysterious problem presented itself, when I was 
installing Debian on my wife's notebook to show her how 
dependable Linux is :-). After two hours of banging our heads 
again the wall, we found out that the problem was that the video 
adapter doesn't support DPMI. 

Try to put

	Option "DPMI" "Off"

to /etc/X11/XF86Config-4.

	Does it help?
