Oh yeah you're using sarge... thats why there's no Xorg, it uses Xfree86, just upgrade to etch, sarge is too old to use...

Code:

su

vim /etc/apt/sources.list

Press the "insert" key, change all instances of "sarge" or "stable" to "etch" then hit escape and press shift+ZZ (that will save and quit vim) ... then

Code:

apt-get update

apt-get dist-upgrade

Then reboot with shutdown -r now and if that didn't fix the video problem, then post back here what the error messages are when xorg won't start.

After an hour and ten minutes of upgrading to etch, i hit startx and got "failed to initialize core devices." My xorg.conf file is as follows;
