"dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86" should ask you which X server at the first step. -svga is v3 and -xfree86 is v4.
Temper is rising.
Mine too. Are you ignoring me?

No, no, not at all, I'm sorry - I just fail to understand a lot of the time. I've now seen what you are saying, done "dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86"and have rocketed towards using xserver-xfree86, v4.x, having xf86config-4 file, and xwindow is now working as it should. Many thanks.

I think I've had one of those working fine in 2d with XFree86 3.x using
the
svga binary, or 4.x using the nv driver. Both can be configured as you install xserver-svga or xserver-xfree86, respectively, or using dpkg-reconfigure afterwards.
I did reinstall xserver-svga. I wasn't ignoring this, just blundering about in the dark.
3d support is still non-free and not recommended. If you want good 3d, these are not the cards that you are looking for.
I don't care about the 3d support, the card is not for games or fancy stuff. I've got this card because it is what work gave me.
Seriously - I'm sorry if I waste anyone's time on-list. All the pointers are very welcome even if I do digest them very slowly sometimes.
Thanks,
