Hi Adrian,

	in case of a misconfigured xserver you can do a couple of things
that all come to basically the same thing: modifying
your /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 This is your central xserver config file. You
can run the configure tool
again with a 'dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86' or do it manually with
a 'lspci' as root, find your graphics card and note it down. Edit the
file with a 'nano /etc/X11/XF86Config-4', find a 'Section Device' and
modify the 'Driver' statement to have the driver matching your card,
don't forget to save. Start xfree86 again with a' /etc/init.d/gdm
start'.

Sincerely ,

Jan.
