Update!

I got it working. I decided to try out my ATI Radeon 9200 VIVA card. Put
it in, edited xorg.conf and BAM! Works!

so ... all this talk about NVidia ... ;)

Good 'ol ATI :)

I've posted my xorg.conf as an attached FYI (and future archive
searchers :) )

FYI this is running on an Athlon64 3500+ with 1GB RAM and the ATI Radeon
9200 is AGP 8x. I have Debian "Unstable" Kernel 2.6.12.5 i686
