Sounds like you chose the wrong card information. Did you install this
with dselect? Did you use the xbase configuration options?
If you move your XF86Config file out of the way (save it under a different
name) you should be able to run xbase-configure and rebuilt this file. You
should change the Xserver file to point to VGA16 for the configuration,
and then return to your prefered server after the configuration. If you
choose the correct card from the list the problems should go away.
Luck,
