Re: Some help with X11
Cirrus cards use the SVGA X server (xserver-svga) package in Debian. I guess
you have this already installed since you can check some XF86Setup generated
modes. My suggestion is that you check the /etc/X11/Xserver which tells what
Xserver to use. The first line in my Xserver file is
'/usr/X11R6/bin/XF86_SVGA' but you might have the XF86_VGA16 server as the
default server.
I think XF86Setup uses implicitly XF86_SVGA when testing the modes. After you
are done with XF86Setup and type 'startx' then the default server in
'/etc/X11/Xserver' gets started and if that is XF86_VGA16 you cirrus card
won't work.

Looks the same here too.
