The X prober looks like it had trouble configuring on this one--as Yan said, the bit depth is too high. If we just do the math, 800x600 x 8bit fits in 4MB of VRAM, but not 1024x768.
But even if we set a reasonable Screen section in the xorg.conf, say, by changing
DefaultColorDepth 16
to 8 etc, there's still the bit about why udev (I think?) didn't create card0...and I don't know enough Debian yet to answer that question (I'm new here, too).
Question: When everything dies, are you user demo or user root? Reason is that Xorg -configure man page states to use actual root (uid 0). Maybe being actual root produces a different result? If you were demo, maybe do a real switch to root and run the config if you were not uid 0 before.
Soooo, yes, the panel itself is 1024x768 but at 4MB, that only fits 4-bit and the Lynx video might not support that from the looks of it. I'm still searching.
What happens if you su - to root and run your configure but with an extra depth argument?
Xorg -configure -depth 8
Did you pull-down the man pages and that stuff so you can at least review that? Thanks for hanging in there and working on it. Seems close
