Hey everyone, I have recently intalled debian linux on a work machine. I had X working before, and the config file looks good to me. I was wondering if anyone could look it over to see if there is an error in it that I am missing.

It is giving me this error:

#> fatal server error:
#> no screens found

My Hardware: PS/2 scrool mouse, s3 virge video card, gateway vx900 monitor, us-en 104 key keyboard.

Here is my xf86config file:
