Well use sarge ! woody have xserver 4.1 which is old (where new at those
times) and will never have a newer release ...
this error means that your video driver does not load.
And loose your time trying to not use the framebuffer or such tips : they
are for the proprietary driver from nvidia which you obviously are not
using as it won't work on woody xserver (too old)...
The free nvidia driver shipped with debian work perfectly with framebuffer.
I you want a quick fix (work on woody too) change the video card driver
from nv to vesa. This works on all card but you would not be able to view
dvd, use 3d games and such (too slow).
You can also upgrade to sarge from your already installed woody if you
have a fast connection to the net.
