I did run Xorg -configure. It generates a file which however does not
start X. The file content is somewhat strange. Since I am now on
windows I can not cite. My understanding was, when reading the file
that it had zeros instead of screan resolutions, or something like
that. I guess the video is not recognized. But, what a sh*t, I should
be able to have at least VGA mode, dont you think? And I do not know
how to make it...
