Would I be able to run Xorg instead of XF86 with Debian Sarge? I can
use Ubuntu fine, and I know that runs Xorg. When using "apt-get

xorg" or something instead? If so, this could work.
Sure, you'd have to find out how to update your sources.list with the
right repository. You might as well just install ubuntu for that matter
and avoid possible breakages.
As for working with what you got, you sure you have the sync rates
correct? The driver?
Lastly, run dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86 a few times with different
settings and try to run X.
If you only have one video card, don't specify it in XF86.config-4
Other than that I'm out of ideas. Is this a pegasos? I don't know
anything about this subset arch.

this is something I would conceivably want to do when I go back to
Debian, so please let me know how it works. And I would think that if
you installed Hoary from cdrom that you could mv your
etc/apt/sources.list aside, create a new blank one and then use
apt-cdrom, that's what I would try.

I don't know why I didn't think of this before, as it was suggested to
me personally just a few months ago. If you have a livecd that you can
boot and get an xorg session in, do that, then copy the
/etc/X11/xorg.conf to your hard drive. Reboot into debian, and use the
screen settings from that in the /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 file or whatever
it's named. Me peprsonally when I take the plunge back to Debian, I am
just going to try and use the whole thing first (renaming xorg.conf
appropriately), and then go from there.
