xf86 3.0, i845, no go
I am using the vesa driver of XFree86 3.0 from experimental with i845 chipset; when doing 'startx', one of two things occurs: either the server aborts, giving a no screens found error, or else multiple lines and dots of various colors appear on the screen and the machine locks. I have used debconf to try several different combinations of color depths and resolutions. None have thus far been successful, but, as I said, the results that they yield are consistent. The multiple lines of various colors (and machine locking) happens at color depths =8bpp, and the no screens found error occurs at colors depths 8bpp -- resolution doesn't seem to matter in either case. No other fatal error messages (besides the no screens found) occur. I have attached the error logs for each situation, and I have also attached the XFree86Config-4 for each situation (all named so as to hopefully avoid ambiguity). I am using kernel-image-2.4.21-4-686 on a 2.4GHz P4 with 256MB of RAM. I have the kernel AGP module loaded, and there doesn't appear to be a DRM module for the i845 chipset with the kernerl that I am using. I would greatly appreciate any help that could be provided. -- Joe Paxton ### BEGIN DEBCONF SECTION # XF86Config-4 (XFree86 server configuration file) generated by dexconf, the # Debian X Configuration tool, using values from the debconf database. # # Edit this file with caution, and see the XF86Config-4 manual page. # (Type man XF86Config-4 at the shell prompt.) # # If you want your changes to this file preserved by dexconf, only make changes # before the ### BEGIN DEBCONF SECTION line above, and/or after the # ### END DEBCONF SECTION line below. # # To change things within the debconf section, run the command: # dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86 # as root.

system locks (p4, i845 chipset, kernel 2.4.21)
Installed Debian on a P4 (1.6GHz) with 128MB RAM, Intel i845 chipset, Intel eepro 100 ethernet card, nVidia GeForce2 MX video card, onboard Intel i8*0 audio. Set aside ~500MB swap. After I get everything installed and updated to 'testing' (and I've done this several times), the system inevitably locks. It doesn't matter if I'm in X or not (not using nVidia drives, anyhow), totally modular kernel with _no modules loaded_ (nothing beyond what I need to boot the system)... the system still locks (no input, no output). I've checked the fans, and they are all working. I've tested the memory using memtest86 (booted into the diagnostic using the file supplied in the memtest package), ran a thorough test, and everything comes out fine. I have run Windows XP Professional on this system in the past without a problem. So I'm thinking it's unlikely that it is directly hardware related (bad memory, HDD, etc.), but rather that it probably has something to do with the kernel. Are there any known fatal bugs with the specific chipset or processor that I mentioned above? I am using kernel 2.4.21, currently (have compiled manually and tried the kernel-image-2.4.21-686 package with the same results), and Googling has turned-up nothing for me in that regard. I would appreciate any insight. -Joe Sent via the WebMail system at 1st.net -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
no audio cds
Hello: Running Debian Woody on a Dell Inspiron 2650c, I am able to read data cds (the installation cd, for example), but I am unable to read (play) audio cds. I am not trying to mount the audio cd (I realize that this is not needed), but rather, when I put an audio cd in the drive, and do 'cd /cdrom' and then 'ls' I see nothing in the drive (and so when I try to add that directory to the XMMS playlist, for example, nothing is added). I have attached my config for kernel 2.4.18 and my dmesg output.

Re: no audio cds (fixed)
Thanks to everyone who answered. The problem was, in fact, a combination of insufficiennt permissions and my flawed reasoning -- as was suggested by many of the replies.

Since you can't mount an audio CD you wont see anything in /cdrom since /cdrom is just a simple directory. Try adding the device file to your xmms playlist (ie /dev/hdc or whatever your cdrom is). This will allow xmms raw access to the cdrom if permissions permit it.

no netscape
I recently installed 'potato' on my iMac and got X up and working - just one problem. I click on the Netscape icon on the taskbar and nothing happens. I installed the Netscape-pseudo package using dselect (which I am assuming installs everything that you need as far as Netscape goes)but still no luck. I realize that this is probably simple, but I would just like some push in the right direction for my confidence. Really appreciate it. I think I'm going to like this whole Debian thing. Joe
