OK - thanks. This just takes me to section 5.14 - default editor...I know you're trying but that doesn't help much ;)

It seems the bits of documentation I can find on the debian site don't match up with etch. I cannot undertsand that and will not comment.

I'm not transitioning - install from scratch on an old machine.

The best I can do to determine my (PCI) card is read what's on the card/chip which says:

MATROX - MGA 1164SG-A I tried dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg, which asked lots opf questions many of which bore no semblance of what xf86config used to ask. In particular something about a PCI Bus ID... ????

Do you need help?X

I took the defaults when prompted as I knew not what else to put. xf86config in woody/sarge worked fine with this card - I know its old but c'mon...even shitty windows can provide a driver for it.
