Re: help with X



Have you installed the xserver-xfree86 package which contains the xserver
4.0.2?

If not, do it, and the install script will (should) ask you about the
configuration.

If you have the package already installed you can reconfigure the server
by issuing 

  dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86
