I have both 2.4 and 2.6*, and I typically update only once a week*, BUT =20
it was only after this last update that X wouldn't run. (output found =20

I'm guessing previous versions checked which kernel was in use (thus =20
saving me from the /dev/*-related problems)? Could that be done, (or =20
has it already)?
I've not upped the severity because this would only affect people with =20
both kernels on a single system (silly us).

There is not much the xserver-xfree86 package can do about this situation
except complain about it, which it has.
This is also a FAQ:
http://necrotic.deadbeast.net/svn/xfree86/trunk/debian/local/FAQ.xhtml#adds=
creeninit
The X server log says "AddScreen/ScreenInit failed for driver 0". Is that=
why
the X server won't start?
Usually, yes. Look for lines before that in the X server log that
start with "(EE)". For instance, users of Intel i810-family chipsets
often have this problem if they're running a Linux kernel that doesn't
support GART access to the AGP port. (This facility is provided by a
kernel module called agpgart in Linux 2.4.x, and by a set of
chipset-specific modules such as agpgart-uninorth in Linux 2.6.x.)
If you're an i810 user and you see the following in the log:
(EE) Unable to open /dev/agpgart (No such device)
Then that is the exact problem you have. You need to install a Debian
kernel-image package that contains support for AGP GART. Official
Debian kernel-image packages for the x86 and compatible processors
typically do.
Closing this bug as due to system configuration problem.
