Which card? xserver-svga is pretty generic, but there are some specialized ones that you may need to look at other xservers for. >So how do I get the XF86_SVGA server/file installed from the CD rom >images I made? If you have apt configured, apt-get xserver-svga If not, use dselect to pull it off the CD. Failing that, mount the CD, find xserver-svga.deb (there will be some largely irrelevant numbers after, so don't paste that exactly), and dpkg -i I'm surprised that the potato tasksel let you off without xserver-svga... >Fortunately, I do know my way around Unix systems as a user.
