Did you try running through configuration manually? ( xf86config or
XF86Setup )If you installed the svga xserver, you should have
superprobe.
Were there any relevant outstanding dependency problems, or packages
which weren't installed or configured correctly? This would show up in
dselect.
When I first installed linux, my video card was unsupported in svga, so
I used the vga16 xserver. For testing purposes, it might be useful to
see if that works.
If you don't like that idea, you might try uninstalling and
reinstalling your svga xserver, going through configuration with
xf86config or XF86Setup, looking at your /etc/X11/XF86Config file,
assuming the man page shows up so you can see what it's supposed to
look like.
The man page for XF86Setup says something about a "Quick-Start Guide to
XFree86 Setup", but I don't see that anywhere. Maybe someone else
knows where that is?
