could you attach the file /var/log/XFree86.0.log or Xorg.0.log ??
would be helpful .... dont really know, but I think Debian is using
the Xorg server rather than the Xfree86 server ....
try
apt-cache search xorg
apt-cache search xfree86
it will give you a list of the relevant packages ...

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
