Hmmm.
Thanks for raising this issue, I hadn't noticed.
I don't have access to that machine now, but I thought it was using
Xorg. Strange.
However, I note the messages are different. Now I am confused how I
upgraded to etch without upgrading this.
Also, according to my bug report, xserver-xorg is installed.
According to apt-cache, xserver-xorg conflicts with old versions of
xserver-xfree86 and current versions of xserver-xfree86 are a
transitional package only.
This computer is fully up to date with etch.
The only thing I can think of is that I got confused and quoted an old
log file, but I think I double checked this. Will triple check.
This is confusing.

Next time I get physical access to the machine (probably tomorrow) I
will try to work out why it is still using XFree86 - I suspect I am
more likely to get this to work with Xorg.
Thanks.
