I'm running Debian GNU/Linux 3.0 on an IBM Thinkpad A31p.
X is in VESA mode, as the Thinkpad has unsupported Radeon video.
If I'm in X (Gnome) and I'm idle for a while (10 mins?) X crashes. The
error messages seem to be to do with trying to run a screensaver. Now,

I had a perfectly good Apache installation; broke it (by accident) and
hacked a fix. But I'd like to know what happened and how to fix it
properly.

Downloading the XFree86 4.2 from the Net is not feasible for me, as I have
only a 56k modem. I had a go building the source code (which I have from a
magazine coverCD): this went well until I tried 'startx' and was told,
"/usr/X11/startx: no such file or directory". Inter

The quest continues. Alsa is still not working, but my hunch now is that
