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. -- G.
