I'm having the exact same problem (except I formatted to potato). I just
can't get it to work. startx looks for the file in .usr/X11R6/... and X won't
start with that command, *but* if I run "XFree86" (the command), it does
work. What's confusing me is that normally I need the xserver-svga
package, which has a 3.x version number, so I don't even know what
it's doing with all these XF86Config/XF86Config-4 files although normally
I've never had a problem with any of this.
