I set LC_ALL to russian, and it said Generating font matrix It takes about 60% of my CPU time, and I am still waiting. Anyone willing to share their expiriences? I did much the same, except that when the popup Generating font matrix appeared, I did something (closed the box ??), I just don't remember exactly what, and then kylix came up fine. Whatever I did was suggested in a previous post that I found on google. Anyway, it has run fine since that initial problem. -- Gary Dolan Debian GNU/Linux 2.2, kernel 2.4.9 FreeBSD 4.3

At least it's a start to one of the reasons why this puppy won't work. Actually, I have on several occasions used winmodems without a problem; depends on the winmodem. Do a search for linmodem and see if you modem is usable. I came late to this thread, so forgive me for jumping in. -- Gary Dolan Debian GNU/Linux 2.2, kernel 2.4.6 FreeBSD 4.3

As far as I can tell I've installed everything from the Debian CDs pertaining to glide and mesa and 3dfx. Now I'm left with a device3dfx.tar.gz in /usr/src. When I untared and unzipped it I was given a modules directory. I tried to compile anything in there I could, but was given the error missing /usr/src/linux/include/linux/version.h configure the kernel first. Now I'm stuck. Anyone have any hints? Am I even going in the right direction? I've read several docs, but I can't find anything yet. well, speaking from my own experience, the kernel source given by Debian does not have a version.h. However, the kernel-headers *do*, so if you have the kernel-headers for your kernel installed, that is what /usr/src/linux should be pointed to, as long as you're going to compile against headers there. of course, /usr/src/linux isn't really the way of doing things the way i understand it...but that should help you at least. If you have kernel source code installed, you can do: cd /usr/src/kernel-source-2.x.x. make include/linux/version.h and you should have version.h
