 This process is usually easier if you don't install anything
 beforehand.. :-)
 
hmm...
Ok, I'm going to try re-installing from scratch and see how that goes :)

Okay, I re-installed Debian Sparc on my Ultra5 from scratch, this time only 
doing a base installation of woody, then doing a dist-upgrade to testing, then 
tasksel to install desktop packages...

but still i get errors when running startx (and I'm sorry but I'm way out of my 
depth here so I include the full xfree86.0.log):
(any thoughts/pointers would be appreciated)

Try doing an XFree86 -configure, and start it using the config file it 
generates.  That seems to help out sometimes, and in this case, I think 
it'd help out a lot (based on this error):

Re: Upgraded to testing, now xserver freezes

2004-05-26 Thread Joubin Moshrefzadeh 

thanks a lot Patrick!

following your instructions got me past the errors, so now I had a thatch 
screen plus moving mouse... and then a bit of mixing and matching from the 
generated XF86config.new and my old one got things going as I'd like. Thanks!

and woww!! I gotta say, with the look and feel of KDE3.2 on testing, I'm 
willing to put up with some bugginess... mind you I'm curious to know, just how 
buggy do people find testing to be? and what do you do when you encounter a bug?

 Ok, I successfully had stable running on my Ultra 5 with no problems

 the latter route. 
 
 So following the instructions at
 http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/reference/ch-woody.en.html I
 proceeded, having to (re)issue apt-get -f install several times when
 the upgrade would stop with some error, and then (re)issue  apt-get -t
 testing dist-upgrade... etc. Anyway, after some time and several
 cycles through this process, I the upgrade ended with no reported
 errors... great!!

This process is usually easier if you don't install anything
beforehand.. :-)
 
 However, now.. after startx, I get the gray thatch screen and I can
 see my mouse (which responds to mouse movements) but thats it... the
 window manager never comes up (before the KDE window showing whats
 being loaded would come up at this point, but no more). if I ssh in, i
 see the following processes:

what processes?

If your mouse is moving, then this sounds like a KDE problem, and not an
X problem.  Check your ~/.xsession-errors, and try installing some other
windowmanager(apt-cache showpkg x-window-manger) and see how that works.
