In the future, you might want to use the "reportbug" package and command of the same name to report problems with Debian GNU/Linux. The report you filed: 1) had no subject; 2) was filed against the wrong package; 3) was not filed against a specific Debian package version; and 4) did not include sufficient information to follow-up on your report. The first three I can work around, but for the fourth, I need you to send me the information described in the XF86Config(7) manpage that you haven't already. Type the command "man 7 XF86Config" to peruse that manual page. Thanks! -- G. Branden Robinson | Build a fire for a man, and he'll Debian GNU/Linux | be warm for a day.

Dear Mr. Robinson, thank You very much for Your patience.I'm sorry for being inconvenient but I'm a newbie and try to use the information I've got. My german DEBIAN manual seems to be a little bit cryptic in explaining how to construe a bug report. My ISDN card isn't yet properly installed on Linux so I can't use the reportbug routine.
I try to give a better report now: ------------------------------------------------------------ Package: xserver-xfree86 Version: 4.1.0-16Problem: When calling startx or xdm or similiar X routines the monitor is flickering three times and afterwards I get an error report: "Screen(s) found, but none have a usable configuration." I've attached the corresponding XFree86.0.log.
Configuration: The configuration of my monitor, video card and mouse may be seen at the XF86Config-4 file attached too.
Remarks:1. The video card "ELSA Erazor III LT" and the monitor "Medion MD 1772JC" work very well on WinNT4.0 SP6 at 1024x768, 85 Hz, 65536 colours.
2. The X server has been installed by using 'tasksel'.3. I set the bus id to "PCI:01:00:00" because the 'lspci' routine told me it has found a "nVidia" driver at "01:00.0". In the attached log file You will see that the video card chip "RIVATNT2" has been found there. This is the correct one for an "ELSA Erazor III LT". 4. I've chosen the "nv" driver corresponding to http://www.xfree86.org/4.1.0/nv.4.html .
I hope I've made it a little bit better than before. If not please be so kind as to let me know.
Thank You very much for Your help.
Many greetings
Kai Lorenz
