Hello.
It worked!
I ran apt-get update; apt-get -f upgrade; apt-get install xorg.
Now I want to find out which packages are really needed. Because xorg
installed a lot of stuff.
Thanks for your help.

While I admire the work the Nouveau guys are doing, after suffering for
more than 4 years with an Nvidia GPU+chipset on my desktop, I just
replaced the motherboard with a one based on the AMD E350 fusion chip,

I've tried to use both packages, but I can't make X work.
startx fails with (EE) [drm] failed to open device.
I tried to look through the kernel options, asked people about it,
read a man page on troubleshooting [1], but all my attempts were
unsuccesful.

On a "regular non-Mac-PC" the nouveau driver very often doesn't work,
but even if it should work for you, take a look at

I don't want to use non-free software.
