debian packages

[Jude DaShiell]

The xorg.conf file will be of no help by now.  That file was already 
confirmed as normal and was able to run another debian user's xserver when 
they edited it for their own installation (their equipment isn't identical 
to mine).  I found out all the paths to the font files are correct too. 
What doesn't yet exist though is the /usr/share/fonts/X11/misc/fonts.alias 
file.  Once that's created correctly I may well be in operation over here 
(knock on wood). For some reason a tasksel installation didn't create this 
file and put it in the right place either.  I have some email to write to 
the people over at http://wiki.X.org/ too.  Their writing on error faqs 
has inconsistencies in it that are unnecessary.
