    if you don't know the video card type run
    Code:
    dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86
    then select the vesa driver. It should work with most stuff.

    smart solution.

    Well, if you don't wanna stay 3 hours trying to figure it out, you can download the ubuntu Live CD images, it'll recognize your X confs, then you can copy xorg.conf to a ftp, pendrive, gdrive, etc. and download it in debian. easy, fast and cool.



    regards,

    Carlos.
