Hello,
i just installed a new debian on an Athlon comp with GForce card, and
couldn't get the XFree system to work...

all that happens is that a switch to the X console (tty7) is made, but
otherwise nothing happens...

i added some logs :
the primary output seen on the console where a stratx was tryed:
