Second, if this config file also don't work I recommend to you download the Live CD from "Ubuntu" or "Knoppix", restart your computer and backup the "XF86Config-4" file here used, it must be the same like the one do you need and the just use it.
Or last if you want easy life just install Ubuntu in your system, Ubuntu is a Debian linux system very user friendly I think the best today for the people that start with (Debian) Linux. After it you can continue update your system like is done in Debian.
Good luck

I send you agaim the file, the name is: XF86Config-4.vesa, just use it instead of your X configuration file. I use in this file the 'vesa' driver if it not work change the 'vesa' driver by the 'vga' driver.
Second, if this config file also don't work I recomend you download the Live CD from "Ubuntu" or "Knoppix", restart your computer and backup the "XF86Config-4" file there used, it must be the same like the one do you need and the just use it.
Or last if you want easy life just install Ubuntu in your system, Ubuntu is a Debian
linux
