	NAME
        dexter - generate XFree86 X server configuration file
	[...]
	DESCRIPTION
       Dexter (an incomplete acronym that means "Debian X Config­
       urator") is a simple dialog-based tool used to generate  a
       basic XF86Config file for either XFree86 version 3 or ver­
       sion 4 servers.  It only generates  XF86Config  files  for
       XFree86 version 3 if the detected or chosen video hardware
       is not supported by XFree86 version 4.

-> But at the end my x is up.

	Good :)
	What Video Card is this, anyway? My notebook uses a Chips & Technologies CT 6555 and its got 2 megs of onboard VRAM, IIRC.

-> one of the packages in the 40 odd MB was xbase clients.

	To upgrade your X server,  I think you would but need to "apt-get install task-x-window-system" only.

-> I did not notice any other that may be relevant;but I am not certain.

	Actually, even I'm not certain, but task-* was specifically meant for that, wasn't it?! 
 
-> Anyway, thats the curse^H^H^H^H^H charm of unstable is it not?

	Heh. Do any of you actually run Experimental? I am wondering if I should, ... infact, my other machine _is_ lying around idle, but I just dont have the bandwidth :(
