Re: fatal server error: no screens found (closer)
I copied the file to the /etc/X11/
directory, renamed it, and made gdm my
default display manager by running:
dpkg-reconfigure gdm
Now, X starts via gdm. I had xdm as
the default dm but it kept booting kde.
Small problem: X is running at 640x480,
I can't CNTRL+ALT+[+], and the
/etc/X11/XF86Config-4 file doesn't
mention any resolutions I can change,
only color depths.
I am guessing there is another configuration
tool I should use, or the same one with
different options?
Thank you Patrick and Alan for your help.

A working XF86Config file should now be in the root directory for you
to either use as is if everything has worked perfectly or forward to us
for help if you have problems.
