Re: Problems starting X,v.4.0.3 -- solved but

[Lukas Ruf <ruf@tik.ee.ethz.ch>]

One final but important question related to this thread: how is it
intended by the Debian Team to configure X-4 on a PC?  During the
installation of it I was not asked to configure anything for X.

Any help?

Thanks in advance,

Lukas
PS: I know of the command-line tool xf86config.
