 Is there a package that doesn't automatically gets updated when I run apt-get

  Yes, xf86cfg -textmode works. Thanks!
  But I still can't figure out why I get this error.

Even running XF86Setup gives me this:

Well, the xserver is up and running but these error shouldn't be there -
besides I can't change the configuration (except I do it by hand)

has anybody a clue what can cause this and how it might be resolved?
Thanks
