No, it's a very different problem. You did read the log file, didn't
you? We see...
<snip from log>
==) VGA(0): videoRam: 256 kBytes.

(II) VGA(0): Not using default mode "640x350" (insufficient memory for
mode)

<onward and onward through the modes>
So X thinks your video card has only 256K of RAM - note that's a "K",
not an "M". No remotely standard video mode can squash its data into
256K. Not sure why debconf got the memory so wrong. You could try
running the configuration program again as before - this time, be sure
to 1) select the appropriate card - "GeForce" or "nvidia" or similar and
2) specify the video memory - you may need to give this in KB, i.e. 64MB
= 64 x 1024K = 65536K. Alternatively, you could edit XF86Config-4 by
hand. Change the "driver" line in the "Device" section to "vesa" or
maybe "nv" and add a line in the same section that says
VideoRam 65536
Hope that helps...
