Hi,
The exit status 127 is returned by the `discover' program, which
xserver-xfree86 calls to try and auto-detect your hardware.
Unfortunately, a recent upload of one of the libraries used by discover
(libcurl2, to be precise) incorrectly broke backward compatibility,
hence discover fails.
There's a patch in Debian's X SVN repository to workaround the issue
(http://lists.debian.org/debian-x/2004/06/msg00123.html) which will be
included in the next release. Short-term, the easiest workaround is to
revert libcurl2 to the previous package version (7.11.2-1).
Regards,
Adam
