i am trying to get XF86Setup to work and have come across a whole series or errors which have slowly been getting fixed.
the first was problems with kbd-data not being a current enough version (it must be -8 for things to be in the correct place so the dependencies must be updated). then it requires twm (which has again been broken off into a seperate package and the dependencies should be updated). same with xauth. no i hit an error that i don't know how to fix: "Not all of the xvidtune configuration files and/or the xvidtune program are installed. The file /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/app-defaults/Xvidtune is missing" there doesn't seem to be a seperate xvidtune package (i believe this used to be a part of xbase?). where/how do i fix this? i appreciate all the work people have been putting into the new release of debian, but this new x package scheme doesn't seem to have been very well planned. i did an 'apt-get dist-upgrade' at just the wrong time apparently and am still dealing with fallout (over a week later). still it's my own fault for mirroring unstable i guess, this was just the first time i'd gotten bitten by anything significant. any help would be much apprecited, thanks, adam. ------------------------ Internet Alaska ------------------------ 4050 Lake Otis Pkwy Adam Shand (v) +1 907 562 4636 Anchorage, AK 99508 Technical Lead (f) +1 907 562 4807 --------------------- http://www.spack.org/ --------------------- "Computers are useless.
