Giuliano, I posted much the same question as your #1 yesterday, and someone had posted a response to my question shortly after I asked. Check the debian-x archives for their response. :)
Regarding xf86cfg, this is to be expected. It is not nearly ready to be called a production tool. You can use dexter(1) to generate an XF86Config-4 file, or you can write one yourself. (See XF86Config(5).) And, I haven't a clue how to make the keyboard go. * Branden Robinson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> [001121 22:41]: > ----- Forwarded message from Giuliano Grandin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ----- > > From: Giuliano Grandin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: X 4.0.1-6: problems > Date: Wed, 22 Nov 2000 00:28:48 +0100 > Delivered-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Delivered-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > X-Mailer: Mozilla 4.75 [en] (X11; U; Linux 2.2.15 i686) > X-Accept-Language: it, en > > Dear Mr. Branden, I'm Giuliano Grandin and I write from Italy. > > I have three problemss. > > 1. > I have just downloaded Xfree 4.0.1-6, but at the end of the process of > upgrading from 4.0.1-5, I got an error message and couldn't go on in any > way. > > The message said that there was an error in the post-installation script > of xserver-xfree86, the code number is 1 (one). > > Neither `dpkg --configure --pending', nor `apt-get -f install' could > resolve the situation. > > 2. > All the versions of XFree 4 gave me a message, and I can't use the keys > of the italian keyboard obtained by pressing <ALT-Gr> and another key > (for the at-sign for emails, for example). > This is the message: > > The XKEYBOARD keymap compiler (xkbcomp) reports: > > Error: Can't find file "xfree86" for keycodes include > > Exiting > > Abandoning keycodes file "default" > Errors from xkbcomp are not fatal to the X server > Couldn't load XKB keymap, falling back to pre-XKB keymap > > > 3. > xf86cfg hangs when I use it: if I use <CTRL-ALT-BACKSPACE> I can exit > it. > > Can you give me some help, please?
