First post was newbie selecting wrong video card driver on debian install, and needing to bring up the config screen again without having to reinstall from scratch - lets not lead him into the XF86Config nitty gritty *just* yet :) Sascha PS. FWIW, Debian unstable is currently on XFree86 4.3.0, I think offical Debian refuses to release anything under the 4.4+ license until the legal GPL compatability issues are sorted or something else is found, and xorg was a XF86 4.4 fork from memory.
