Tried to find xserver-common with dselect and with apt-get, but was unable
to locate it. Loaded instead xserver-vga16. Afterwards ran XF86Setup and
got this:
maui:/usr/X11R6/bin# export PATH=/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin
maui:/usr/X11R6/bin# which XF86Setup
/usr/X11R6/bin/XF86Setup
maui:/usr/X11R6/bin# XF86Setup
Couldn't read card database file /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/Cards
What now?
