duh!

My x freezes on start after I installed etch and I want to use
xf86config to reconfigure it. What happened to that utlitlty? I cannot
work out what package its in.

Also, in the debian reference manual, at
http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/reference/ch-tune.en.html#s-xsrvr, it
refers to xserver-common-v3 (I think I need this as I have an old matrox
card)- I can find no such package in etch - is the ref manual out of
date or something? Surely not?

Thanks for any help,

Have you looked at the release notes? Perhaps:

http://www.debian.org/releases/stable/i386/release-notes/ch-information.en.html#s-xorg

Release Notes for Debian GNU/Linux 4.0 ("etch"), Intel x86 - Issues to
be aware of for etch

5.3 XFree86 to X.Org transition

Also, /etc/X11/xorg.conf and $ man xorg.conf.

Post errors from /var/log/ for more help.

Regards,
Ralph
