Bug#304108: "no screens found"

["Kingsley G. Morse Jr." <change@nas.com>]

Hi David,

I'm happy to report that following your advice to
load the "nv" driver seems to have allowed
XFree86-debug to run.

I should probably also mention that I upgraded
xserver-xfree86-dbg from version

    4.3.0.dfsg.1-12.0.1
to
    4.3.0.dfsg.1-13

but I doubt it helped. The new version fails with
the "nvidia" driver too.

Hopefully we'll catch a SEGV if I leave
XFree86-debug with the "nv" driver running long
enough!

Thanks,
Kingsley
