What video card do you have?
If VGA (not SVGA) then you would just have to go through the
installlation of xserver-vga16 and chose VGA16 server instead of SVGA.
If you have a different kind of card, you will have to install
the xserver-* that would fit your card, run xserver-vga16 installation
again and chose appropriate server there.
Hope this helps.
