There's always an error, "I cannot start the X server (your graphical interface). It is likely that it is not set up correctly. Would you like to view the server output to diagnose the problem?". When I say yes, it appears that the problem is "no screens found". I tried editing the XF86Config-4 file, but I have no idea what to look for, or what to change. I also tried running the XFreeConfig program, but while testing, it gets to a certain video mode, and freezes up. I tried an "apt-get install XFree86", but it tells me that it can't find XFree86. Any idea what I need to do to get this fixed?
