Unless anyone tells me before tomorrow evening that the PDF in question displays perfectly on his system (amd64 sid, pretty much in sync with what is on the german mirrors) I'll do that yes. Otherwise I'll assume that the problem is somehow caused by my setup and dig into it. regards, Volker -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

amd64-specific bug in XPDF based programs?
Hi, as of recently I have experienced serious (read: undecipherable output) display bugs when trying to view certain PDF documents (i.e. http://www.dnt.de/dl/58/SportyAdventur-eng-rgb.pdf). in xpdf-based viewers (xpdf-reader, evince, kpdf). Is this something that might be related to amd64 (I haven't found any related bug reports in either xpdf, evince or kpdf yet) or should I bother the packagers directly? regards, Volker -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

We-ell... it did install and it worked, but then again, getting rid of the packages again after I decided that there was really nothing I urgently needed in xorg was a major mess. I'll happily wait for X-Strike-Force packages in X-Strike-Force quality, if that's what it takes :) regards, Volker -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

It was mentioned on the list in the last week or > two. Check the archives I guess. I already knew that one ;) However I thought that those packages in experimental might be more current (I believe I saw a -pre3 revision here and there, as opposed to -pre1) and fix one or two of the more annoying issues such as the kmail password window lock when starting kontact that have been fixed upstream in the meantime. regards, Volker -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

KDE from experimental
Hi, does anyone of the amd64 porting team plan to provide KDE 3.4 packages based on those in pool/experimental, or should everyone who wants them build them from source? regards, Volker -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
libqt.so symlink?
Hi, I just came across a strange problem: I reconfigured and built a kernel on a pure64 system via xconfig, rebooted, wanted to make another change and lo and behold xconfig all in a sudden couldn't find libqt: Turns out that symlinking libqt.so to the libqt3 lib solved the problem. Now I wonder of course, why did it work before, what went wrong and is the symlink the proper solution? Which package would usually provide the symlink, if at all? regards, Volker -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

That's the price to pay for running the very latest stuff, I guess ;-) regards, Volker
Please advise
Hi, I'm in the process of building an AMD64 System which I plan to run Debian on, and I would like to ask for your advice on the choice of suitable mainboards. From what I gather from the list archives and google, both the ABIT AV8 and the MSI KT8 Neo2-FIR are reported to be fully supported by current Linux versions (I plan to use Kanotix 64 for the installation), whereas I saw some troubles reported with the ASUS A8V. I'd be very interested in recommendations from people who have used systems with these boards reagrding topics such as stability and ease of use/hardware compatibility with Linux. I am not a newbie, so manually modprobing a module is not a problem for me ... then again, I don't really care for disfunctional network support or missing on-board sound, either. Another question would be whether to get a 3000+ CPU or 3200+ - are the differences notable on a system used almost exclusively for desktop applications and software development? I appreciate any advice you can give! regards, Volker
