I just started learning Linux and i tried to setup xwindows i think its
called. I get this error:

Fatal server error:
no screens found

I told the right horizontal refresh rate and the vertical and the
resolutions from the xf86config, and even tried re-doing everything the
command:

dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86

I ask's to specify the video card, and mine wasn't there. I got a ATI Radeon
9800Pro.
i thought before i saw a place where i can setup the RAMDAC and everything
in case my card wasn't there, but now i dont see where that was. I think the
file to show the output of the xstart was:

/var/log/XFree86.0.log

Im dual booting and i dont know how to get the message from linux to
windows, and i dont got a printer hooked to this computer, my bro has a usb
PSC hp 1210. But i thought linux didn't support USB, guess im wrong. If
there is a way for me to do it let me know. i think i got:
 Debian 2.4 i think, whats the command to find the version number?
amd 2500+
Abit NF7-S
ati 9800 pro
WD 60GB pata

Thanks for any help.
