Re: No screens found
I believe I've seen that error message before. It had to do with the
Xserver not supporting the graphics card. Have you checked to see if
there's an Xserver that matches you video card better? Also, what version
of XFree are you running? If it's from ftp.debian.org or a major minor,
you're probably running 3.3.2.x and you might need the 3.3.3.1 Xservers.
