You look at the log which is /var/log/XFree86.0.log or send that file
to the list so that we can see where your problem arises.
If you want to read the log yourself do:
less /var/log/XFree86.0.log (you may need to install "less" using dselect
or apt-get install less) - for more info look at man "package name"
You are looking for lines that have (EE) on the left. Once you've
identified the problem you can then do:
dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86 to change the offending setting.
