Hi John, first- please don't cc me, I get the list, thanks.
I don't know if the gui for firestarter would work in text mode. If you have
kde running, then the firestarter gui will work, I guess. Have you tried
dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86

(You'll need to know ahead of time some information about your hardware.)
