Ok, I am starting to pick this up. Obviously I am totally new to Linux. I
further read the info prior to the failure and it isn't detecting my primary
device. I ran lspci and found my video card "00:05.0 VGA compatible
controller: nVidia Corp.: Unknown device 0322 (rev a1)". When I run
dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86 and try and enter "00:05.1" it rejects it
as an invalid bus id. What would the appropriate bus id for that device be?

This is one of the most common questions on debian-user. If you search
the archives at http://lists.debian.org/search.html for `no screens
found' you get some results.
We need your /var/log/XFree86.0.log and possibly your
/etc/X11/XF86Config-4 for a start. Please mention your video hardware.
`lspci' might help there.
