i am trying to configure xfree86 w/ dpkg-reconfigure to work w/ an
old apac pci-bus video card. there is no apac driver available in
the list of drivers so i selected the vga driver, 16-bit color, and
the smallest screen size available. when gdm starts, the monitor
flashes between blank screen and the console. apparently, xserver
does not like my configuration. i read an xfree86-howto but this
hasn't lead me to my misconfiguration.

does anyone have any suggestions as to what i may do to resolve this?
