Hi,
XFree86 v4 is now a single server, in debian is under /usr/X11R6/bin/XFree86,
which supports all video hardware through different modules
(see Section "Device")..
probably the easiest way to figure out which module to load is do
XFree86 -configure
it will generate a config file (/root/XF86Config.new i believe) for what it
was able to autodetect and you can take it from there.
hope this helps,
ricardo
