I think you want xserver-xfree86:
apt-get install xserver-xfree86

You can try also:
apt-get install xfree86*

My 2 cents...

I am running Debian Linux, and every time I have to reboot, it tries to start the Gnome graphical interface. There's always an error, "I cannot start the X server (your graphical interface). It is likely that it is not set up correctly. Would you like to view the server output to diagnose the problem?". When I say yes, it appears that the problem is "no screens found". I tried editing the XF86Config-4 file, but I have no idea what to look for, or what to change. I also tried running the XFreeConfig program, but while testing, it gets to a certain video mode, and freezes up.

I tried an "apt-get install XFree86", but it tells me that it can't find XFree86.

Any idea what I need to do to get this fixed?

Thanks,

Jesse
