Thanks, with the packages you send me now it works

I have also discovered that they are in the stable distribution

not in the woody one.

Thanks for your  answer but where can I find the package xserver-xsun ?
I had a look in the debian ftp site and I can't find it...

Is there a special URL or ftp site ?

Thanks for the answer.

FBIOPUT_VSCREENINFO: Invalid Parameter

Any idea ?

newbie configuration problem under X11

[xav]

Hi all,

I'm new on debian under sparc, I've just installed debian potato on

an IPX machine, I'm trying to run xfree but the required server seems to be

xsun. I have xserver-xfree86 version 4.0.1-5 installed.

I don't find any xsun in the Contents-sparc file.

How can I run a Xserver ?

Thanks in advance for any help...

O+ xavier
