I've just downloaded and installed the Current debian install (as of 4 days ago) and I believe it was packaged with the latest X Server but after installing on my system I've been unable to get the xwindows system to display. I have intel i810 graphics, most likely onboard my sony system and a Viewsonic A90 (19") moniter. I've included my XF86Config-4 and my XFree86.0.log files but I'm new to this group so I'm not sure if it will be included with this e-mail. Any help would be appreciated so I can start managing my internet and mail without having to boot to windows. I'm almost free!!

Section "Device"
    Identifier    "Intel"

    VideoRam    4096
    Option        "UseFBDev"        "true"
EndSection

Try:
* setting "UseFBDev" to "false"
* using a different driver, such as vesa or vga (just temporarily, to make progress)

Try lowering your DefaultDepth temporarily (say, to 16 or even 8).

Does "lspci" report your graphics card correctly, or as an "unknown device"? If the latter, you might want to upgrade your kernel.
