Xfree86-SVGA cannot be installed.
Looks like: /usr/X11r6/lib/X11/xkb/something conflicts with file from
metroess-3.1.5-1
I think I need something else. I am sorry for this, I am a newbie, thrown
into these waters after someone left me.
Now I got to learn it all, quickly.
Anyway, it took me two hours to figure out how to even get it on that
machine.
After that you see the results.
