[Gllug] First Debian install - a little help needed!

That's similar to what I'm looking to do between Knoppix and the Debian
drive (hda2 in my case).
I'm going to do a diff on the two XF86Config-4 files and see where the
sections for the video card differ. Hopefully then I'll be able to start X
under Debian and I'll be sorted. It is XF86Config-4 I should be looking at,
not XF86Config right? My understanding is that the -4 file is for XFree86
version 4 onwards which is what I have installed.
