If you have a Geforce FX 5200 then that card is more than enough to run 1024x768 I used to run my old one at 1600x1200 on dual monitors with no problem.

Then I tried apt-get -t experimental dist-upgrade and it found the 3.4 KDE packages but also tried to upgrade to experimental versions of other packages like libc6 (when I'd rather stick with unstable for those). does anyone have an example /etc/apt/preferences file which gets only experimental versions of KDE 3.4 and stays in unstable for everything else? Or are the experimental versions of libc6 and other packages required by kde3.4? What I did and it is probably the hard way to do it is find all the packages from KDE I had installed and made myself a script that simulated the upgrade then once everything was upgrading to my satisfaction I went to the command line removed the -s in the install line and let it upgrade. I have attached the script you will have to search and replace most of the =4:3.4.0-0pre1 on the end of the package names with =4:3.4.1-1 and of course get your packages installed (COLUMNS=125 dpkg -l | grep 3.3. [1234]) to add into the file. Use apt-cache policy to figure out the version number = that you need to put on the end of the package names you will have to add to the file for your install and eventually you should get it to the point where everything will upgrade with exactly the packages you need to get it done without any of the packages from experimental.

This, in turn, is uninstallable because of a tangle of broken X-related dependencies. It's a real mess. I tried adding experimental to the brew, but it didn't help. I'm pretty much stuck at this point, since I can't dist-upgrade back. I could restore yesterday's backup, but I prefer moving forward. It looks like X switched from XFree86 to X.Org, and it also looks like QT has switched from libqt3-mt to libqt3c102-mt. However, libqt3-mt-dev = 3.3.3 is a dependency of the Alioth kdelibs4-dev, and there's no libqt3c102-mt-dev either.

Thanks that works nicely. I can only send the .diff between the
knotifyrc I saved and the new ~/.kde/share/config/knotifyrc as there
was no new~/.kde/share/config/knotify.eventsrc recreated on my install.
Thanks again for all the hard work by the KDE team,

Jianan You can get the kdelibs4 package needed with this line in your /etc/apt/sources.list, of course changing the ftp.de.debian.org part to reflect your local mirror. deb http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/ testing-proposed-updates main The person who is building the package has the proposed updates repository in his sources list and that is where the package gets the dependency when he builds it and since you only have testing in your sources.list apt cannot find the package you need. Either this or you can install some -dev packages and build the package from source yourself then install with dpkg, you would not need the proposed updates files/packages at all for this just the normal ones you can get from testing already.

So apparently it is only Kgpg that complains about the agent not being started and you can disable that in its configuration and never have to see that message when you login.
