Nothing. I get the same X server output I always got with with my old
distro. Except that this X doesn't run.

That'll edit the config file, all right. Will it tell me things like
modelines,resolutions, etc, to put INTO the file?
No, I didn't think so.
As it happened, I just blew it all away, and reinstalled the
potato-based one from the CD. This is why I never used Debian on a
day-to-day basis - too much fighting with it. I fight computers all day
at work; I prefer to come home and minimize the fighting.
Still, I placed an order for the retail version of Libranet, which has
(supposedly) the versions of stuff I want, along with support. A case of
giving back what I can. What the hell - it ain't that much money, and
who knows? Maybe the thing will work right.
