It doesn't work, but adding: /usr/local/X11R6.8/lib solved the problem. But there is another one: how to tell kdm/wdm to use X.org instead of 4.3?

Generally every new distro is faster, cause other distros has i586 or higher optimalization (while debian has i386). It gives a lot in X applications (but also in others) - better memory use, take advantages of many processor specific instructions etc. To speed up my debian I have many packages rebuilded with optimalization flags. But sometimes it's hard to pass flags to compilator. And apt-build is definitely not good for that task. It will be very usefull to standarize it for debian (e.g. adds few lines in every package in debian/rules file with commands to overwrite defaults flags for compilers). But if your debian box is much much slower than gentoo, maybe it's problem with your configuration. I recommend you to check DMA settings for your hard drives- it could be significant for performance.

Yes, Gentoo has great tool, portage which can build and install packages with your onw configuration. But I don't want Gentoo. I'm only wondering if is it a simple way to recompile some of the packages with optimalization. Believe or not, but it's a big difference, especially for X applications (I already recompiled many applications and test it on my computers). Faster start, less memory used. Other distributions often have packages for e.g i386/i586 or even i686. Why not try to do this with Debian? But sometimes it's hard (very hard) to pass flags to compiler. If anyone is interested in optimalized packages, I can make a repository. Just let me know.

recompilation and optimalization
Hi. Is there any way I could recompile existing packages in my system? apt-build has no documentation and seems not to work... And if I use apt-get source and build manually, in many packages, I can't add optimalization flags to gcc/g++ (CFLAGS/CXXFLAGS aren't pass to compiler). Is there any (universal) way to pass flags to compiler while building debian packages? Karol -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

Recently, libc6 has changed in sid and libc6-dev now needs new linux-kernel-headers. From Debian Weekly News: Split Kernel Header Files. Otto Wyss [46]wondered why [47]libc6-dev suddenly depended on [48]linux-kernel-headers. Mark Brown [49]explained that there have always been some kernel headers included in libc6-dev. They have just been split out into a separate package now. Several of these headers are referenced by headers provided by glibc which would break those headers if linux-kernel-headers is not installed. So you have to install linux-kernel-headers if you have libc6-dev. If you want to check dependiencies type: apt-cache show gaim and check line 'Depends:' Karol -- | Karol Czachorowski | | JID: narel(at)jabber.org GG: 2786028 | -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Every disk operation (hard disks, floppy and cdrom) takes 100% of my CPU (top says it's i/o wait). When I'm copying big file it's quite good (at least I can listen to the music, but not watching movies). When system operates on many small files I can't do anything... I reported a bug on lkml, but didn't get reply. But I found other people with the same problem. hdparm -t gives 25-30 MB/sec, so DMA seems to work.

That's the easiest, possibly only, way. If you really want to use only USB, you must have your kernel compiled with CDCEther.o module (and USB of course). And good advice if you experince trouble with hardware - try to start Knoppix - it can help a lot with configuring devices.
