["GUI"]
XFree86 is the main X-Server in Debian 3.1 (sarge) and older. It is being replaced by ["Xorg"].
Details
XFree86 is an implementation of the ["X-Window-System"] written originally for the Intel 80386 platform and certain video cards used on that platform. In short, it forms the basis for the Graphical User Interface of Debian (["?DesktopEnvironments"]). Today it supports other platforms and many different types of [graphics card]s. If you cannot find a specific driver for yours, use the VESA like default.
Configure X
As ["root"] user, run:
dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86
(see ["dpkg"]).
This will present you with a wizard for configuration.
Run X
