trouble installing xserver

["Michael B. Taylor" <mtaylor@mapleloop.rmt.utk.edu>]

I am having trouble installing xservers.  I am attempting to install the
mach 32 server and the vga 16 server.  I have an up to date Debian 1.3
system from the stable directory.  

Here are my messages:

mapleloop# dpkg -i xserver-vga16_3.3-3.deb
Selecting previously deselected package xserver-vga16.
(Reading database ... 10008 files and directories currently installed.)
Unpacking xserver-vga16 (from xserver-vga16_3.3-3.deb) ...
Setting up xserver-vga16 (3.3-3) ...
Fixing tty0 and console...
Notice: changing my directory to /dev.
MAKEDEV: syntax error: Unexpected 'C', line 18, column 13 in file
/proc/devices
MAKEDEV: Sorry, can't continue.

mapleloop#

Here is the contents of the /proc/devices file:

Character devices:
 1 mem
 2 pty
 3 ttyp
 4 ttyS
 5 cua
 7 vcs
10 misc
12 tpqic02
36 netlink

Block devices:
 1 ramdisk
 2 fd
 3 ide0
 7 loop
 9 md
20 Mitsumi CD-ROM
36 ed


Any help appreciated.
