1)rename your current file, so it doesn't get read by X.
#mv /etc/XF86Config-4 /etc/XF86Config-4.old
2) Run xf86config #xf86config or if that doesn't work, I think it's located in /usr/X11R6/bin
3) Try starting X again.
A good trick if you're lazy and have a Knoppix Cd, is to boot Knoppix, copy the XF86Config file it uses, and use that. :-)

Hi. I am trying to get Debian running on a Dell Latitude L100. It reports:
Fatal server error: No screens found
I understand that this is a fairly common problem from Google. Even so, I
am uncertain of how to proceed, as all of the sites I found tend to be quite
machine-specific. I have installed X window system (apt-get install
x-window-system). No luck... I have attached the log and the config files.
How does one go about troubleshooting this? Thanks--
