Recently i've installed DEbian 3.0 on my PC (512 mb ram, P4 1.6 GHz, GF4
MX 440).
When trying to run X i get the "no screens found" error. No matter which
driver (svga, nv) i choose during the installation process the Xserver
fails.
My system worked fine under Red Hat 7.3 so it's a Debian thing.
Can anyone help me?

I had a similar problem with my GF2 GTS. I found three possible causes
to the problem (it works fine now).
1) the NVdriver wasn't loaded.
2) some font server was not working properly (I edited it out of the
configuration file and it worked fine after that)
3) your monitor is not properly configured (set the horizontal/vertical
refresh rates if it is an old monitor and XFree86 can't detect it on its
own as well as the max resolution and bit depth).
I would suggest you look up the error messages on Google, since that is
what I did and how I found the line about the font server.
Good luck!
