You appear to have told debconf not to manage your XF86Config-4 file; if you hadn't, you might not be experiencing some of these problems. > Locate finds no file with the name "xie" except for pixe=ie related > stuff.

If you had let debconf manage your XF86Config-4 file, that line would have been removed automatically. > (Also, the mouse wheel works with PS/2 mouse, but not when I switched to > my USB mouse, but this was some time ago...) I'm not sure what to tell you about that except that USB mice with wheels generally work with debconf-managed config files. > Section "Device" > Identifier "Radeon 1" > # Driver "sis" > # Driver "s3virge" > Driver "radeon" > Screen 0 > EndSection > > # 2002.09.29 NJS Added > Section "Device" > Identifier "Radeon 2" > Driver "radeon" > Screen 1 > EndSection The "radeon" module is a *sub*module of the ati module. You should probably be using the "ati" driver instead, which will autoload the "radeon" module for your hardware. If you had let debconf manage your XF86Config-4 file, this would have been autodetected, or you would have been given the option of using the "ati" module (but not "radeon").

Server aborting You should probably attempt to supplement debconf's management of your XF86Config-4 file (see the Debian X FAQ </usr/share/doc/xfree86-common/FAQ.gz>), rather than replacing it entirely, unless you're a real expert, in which case xfree86@xfree86.org is a better forum for support issues like this. There is also this text to help you out, which you may have overlooked: # If you want your changes to this file preserved by dexconf, only make changes # before the "### BEGIN DEBCONF SECTION" line above, and/or after the # "### END DEBCONF SECTION" line below. -- G.
