I changed "UseFBDev" to "false" and it worked. Not sure why ;-) Now, I'm sure there's a "right way" of putting that option outside of the Debconf section... If you simply change it "in situ", then your change will get undone next time debconf (dexconf?) gets run... But I have to admit I did that anyway, and I just refrain from running dexconf. > But also when I want to start the X-Server manually with > $ startx > > the /var/log - File says: -<Big SNIP>- > (II) UnloadModule: "nv" > (II) UnloadModule: "fbdevhw" > (II) Unloading /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/linux/libfbdevhw.a > (II) UnloadModule: "vgahw" > (II) Unloading /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/libvgahw.a > (II) UnloadModule: "int10" > (EE) Screen(s) found, but none have a usable configuration. > > Fatal server error: > no screens found -<SNIP again>- > -------------------------- END /var/log/Xfree86.0.log ------------------ Yeah, that looks a *lot* like what I was seeing.
