Ahhh, XFree86/Xorg. What a steaming pile of FUBAR it's been. Things are rapidly getting better, though (unfortunately, the [[Linux framebuffer|framebuffer]] kernel layer now seems to be rotting slightly -- there's no intention, from what I can tell, to support [[Intel 965]] for instance). I use [[Intel 965]] video extensively, and have for some time -- info within might only be applicable to that card, and of course all of this may vary based on your [[Debian]] setup.
