Did something similar over the weekend (reinstall potato base, dist-upgrade to testing and then install task-x-window-system). The thing is that xserver-xfree86 does *neither* create a config file *nor* create a symlink to the server. I fixed this by running dexconf to create /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 based upon my choices during configuration upon installation and created a symlink to /usr/X11R6/bin/XFree86. This fixed it. -- Olaf Meeuwissen Epson Kowa Corporation, Research and Development
