XF86Config 

manually editing X11 /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 for details...

Upgrade to Sid, imo...its better (bleeding edge) or Woody (if you want
some older but more stable packages)...

[02:29pm 17-Apr-02]$ cat /etc/apt/sources.list
deb http://ftp.nz.debian.org/debian sid main contrib non-free
deb http://ftp.nz.debian.org/debian-non-US sid/non-US main contrib
non-free

Just choose an appriate mirror..(closer the better)

searching for a Package?

apt-cache search package

If you're new to linux, Debian probably isnt for you..unless you're
willing to play around.
