etch xorg packages issue



Hi, just finished (reinstalling) etch using the business card CD. It
appears that the package system (tasksel? package dependancies?) does
NOT install any input and video drivers for X.org. This was determined
after prerusing the x.org logs after failing to launch gdm on
first-run.

I had to manually 'apt-get install':
*xserver-xorg-input-kbd
* xserver-xorg-input-mouse
xserver-xorg-video-ati
* xserver-xorg-video-vga
* xserver-xorg-video-vesa
xserver-xorg-video-fbdev


* I can understand not installing all of the drivers, but not
installing keyboard, mouse, VGA, and vesa.... those are fairly
critical.



This happened twice in a row (seperate installs).
Just FYI.
