The minimalist server (which you should check you have) line: /usr/bin/X11/XF86_VGA16 Try $ dpkg -s xserver-vga16 > > > Change that to whatever you > >want it to be.

At least, I get told > there is no file by that name. do: $ apt-get install xf86setup and alternately for the text-mode configurator (xf86config): $ apt-get install xserver-common but you better have that already! chances are you'll want xserver-svga (it has the broadest array of card support). -- +----------------------------------------------------+ | Eric G.
