Please supply the information described in the XF86Config(7) manpage:
When reporting bugs to the Debian Bug Tracking System in
xserver-xfree86, be sure to include a copy of your /etc/X11/XF86Con-
fig-4 and /var/log/XFree86.0.log (or whichever log file the X server
used - see XFree86(1x)) files in the bug report. Many problems with
the X server are the result of poor configuration. Furthermore, this
information aids the Debian Developers in determining your hardware
scenario.
