THERE
You are running the XF86_VGA16 server. You should run the XF86_SVGA
server. Make sure the xserver-svga package is installed, then edit the
first line of /etc/X11/Xserver so that it contains the path name of the
svga server, like `/usr/X11R6/bin/XF86_SVGA'. Then if you run startx,
you should get the xserver running. I found this kind of installion
error quite often, I suppose the installation procedure could use some
`streamlining' here.
