New Try... 
dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86

Unless it is some other package in Mephis. Answer the questions.

Restart X and see what happens.

And if you are willing to do a re-install again... DO try the Debian-Installer. It is fantastically better than anything that was there before. They have a TEAM working on it. Main reason -- complaints Debian wasn't very easy to install.

It is still textual install, mainly because it runs on 11 different platforms (actually 15 but that is another story).

It has got ump-teen translations, works very well indeed for most run of the Mill machines most Linux machines turn out being... Even does work on Newer motherboards and Video cards. Plus it has the 2.6 Kernel as an option rather than an experimental flavor. 2.4 is default.

You never know. Sarge *IS* shaping up very well, the longer they work on it.

No matter how much Microsoft supporters whine about how Linux and other operating systems have just as many bugs as their operating systems do, the bottom line is that the serious, gut-wrenching problems happen on Windows, not on Linux, not on Mac OS. -- [link|http://www.eweek.com/article2/0,1759,1622086,00.asp|source]

New I managed to solve the problem.
It was very annoying, but it's done now. It will make an amusing post eventually, because right in the middle of cursing I wound up saying "cooooool" and then went right back to cursing. :)

Surreptitious semblances scamper surrealistically, strewing scabrous solecisms, simpering sophistry - striving sententiously - still, scintillating serendipity seems South. Zymotic, yellowish xeroxed vellums unsatisfactorily trumpet simple rationales: querulous ponderings of nebulous musings. Let knaves justly invoke hoary genuflection, for early doth craven biliousness atrophy.
