just a shot in the dark, did you upgrade this box from potato? i ask because i did on my box and in the process of apt-get dist-upgrade it kept back the version of the svga server which i could not get to work with xf 86 4.0. the solution was: 1. apt-get remove xserver-svga 2. apt-get install xserver-svga (having my apt sources pointed to testing). this fixed things for me (on a thinkpad x20). hth, -- Sergio J.
