I have a client with Dell with a nVidia GeForce4.  He had Woody installed

and working. He did an apt-get upgrade and now X fails withFatal server error:

 XFree86 has found a valid card configuration.
 Unfortunately the appropriate data has not been added to xf86PciInfo.h.

My experience of XFree 4.1 is that its version of the nv driver doesn'tsupport the geforce 4. You'll want to obtain either XFree 4.2 or theproprietary nvidia drivers.
