Since it's working for me, here's the various packages that I have installed. Most of these resulted from updating from debian.org (yeah, yeah, I know I should use mirrors :-) ), on 3/15/01, using sid/unstable. xfree86-common: 4.0.2-7 (as well as font packages) xlibs : 4.0.2-7 xfs-xtt: : 1.3.0.xf402-8 kdebase : 2.1.0.1-5 kdebase-libs : 2.1.0.1-5 kdelibs3 : 2.1.0.1-5 konqueror : 2.1.0.1-5 konsole : 2.1.0.1-5 kdm : 2.1.0.1-5 libqt2 : 2.3.0-final-1 libqt2.2 : 2.3.0-final-1 libfreetype6 : 2.0.1.20010312 I'm also using the 0.9-767 NVidia's supplied driver for my TNT2 card. I've modified the XfsConfig file as reported here to add a bunch of font name aliases. I've gotten the Microsoft font package and installed that into /usr/share/fonts/truetype and made the fonts.dir and fonts.scale names. I've added all the fonts paths to the config files for xfs-xtt, Xfree, and XftConfig. Outside of that, I cannot think of any other changes I have from what a standard Deb sid system would be running at. If you need to know what other libraries I'm running, let me know. -- Dr. Michael K.
