Hi, I've tried installing the xlibs-4.0.3-3.deb and associated packages yesterday and I've got three related questions: * How can I have dselect install them without complaining about conflicts xlib6g and suggesting to remove all the software that depends on it (virtually everything on my machine as you can guess) ? Do I need to update to a version of the debian utilities which handles these things better ? * my video card is a VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc 3D Rage LT Pro AGP-133 (rev dc) according to lspci and I am not sure the corresponding driver was part of the XFree86 distributions lately. Does the xlibs-4.0.3-3.deb support it ? * The XFree86 distribution indicates a number of precautions to take when changing version (among which there is the fact that it is highly preferable to avoid having a running X server when doing it). Are there any similar precautions I should take when installing xlibs-4.0.3-3.deb ? Thanks a lot, you guys are doing a great job ! Shan ----- End forwarded message ----- -- G.
