G'day Jeroen,
I'm guessing but it looks like your using X 3, and if your video card
wasn't detected during the original install xserver-vga16 will be the
only xserver-??? installed, and it doesn't contain wupport for most
modern video cards, Nvidia TNT 2 is supported under X 3 by xserver-svga
if you installed this with "apt-get install xserver-sgva" and try to
configure X again it should work, You probably want the RIVATNT2 driver.
Cheers
Joel
