xf86config to reconfigure it. What happened to that utlity? I cannot
work out what package it's in.

(0) heretic /home/keeling_ apt-file search xf86config

sorry - just what does that add to the issue? I'm not intersted in
Xinerama or html pages...

apt-file knows everything there is to know about Debian package
contents. If that's all it knows about xf86config, you're pretty safe
to assume there is no xf86config in Debian.

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

(0) heretic /home/keeling_ lspci | grep -i vga
01:08.0 VGA compatible controller: Matrox Graphics, Inc. MGA 2164W [Millennium II]

That's a 4 Mb PCI card. Works fine with Version: 1:7.1.0-19 (Etch).

Lucky you.

Note to self: ignore pleas for help from M. Waller in the future.
