Hello, I installed xserver-xfree86. The first few times the postinst died with an return of 10. As I was debugging the problem (running it over 5 times), it suddenly worked perfectly, so I can't really file the bug report... It seemed to come from debconf though (as far as I could tell anyway).
Anyway, back on topic, I tested X out with gdm from unstable. Everything worked fine. I could not log in, probably because of the Helix stuff still installed. I purged all Helix stuff, including some extra packages (gdm, logrotate, hence heimdal-kdc and mailman. ooops. Good thing for backups! Still not sure why one of my apt-get remove --purge <helixpackage> wanted to remove logrotate though). I reinstalled gdm, and now mouse, display work fine, but my keyboard dies. I haven't worked out how to change console or login with the mouse ;-), so effectively the console has crashed (locally). Logging in remotely works, where I killed the server. I started gdm again, and the same problem reoccured. Replugging the keyboard connector does not help (I guess I have to stop X first). Running startx works fine (Except for sawfish not being installed). So I guess the problem must be gdm's fault: ii gdm 2.0-0.beta4.15 GNOME Display Manager Anyone else noticed the same problem? I find it surprising that upgrading from Helix code works, but installing from scratch doesn't. -- Brian May <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
