That's right it's not in xfree-4 but it is in the distro: apt-get install xsever-s3 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

If you use Debian Woody with XFree86 4.1, your graphic card is not supported. You either have to use XFree 3.3.6 instead (is included in Woody) or upgrade to XFree 4.3. You can find more information on supported cards on http://xfree86.org/support.html. The package in Woody is xserver-s3 and is part of the install cd set. XFree 4.3 seems to be fscked in Mdk 9.1 for s3 cards, never tried it in Debian. Version 4.2 is available at www.apt-get.org and that works with s3 and Debian. hth Bob Parker -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

When I run X the upper parte of the screen seems to fold, and strange stuff appears (the clock appears in about five diferent places, above where it should be). I'm running it on a pentium, HP 500 series, D4116A, just if is of any help that information. I'm new to linux, and sincerly, have tried all what I could thing off (not much really), and would appreciate any help. When I try to run vidtune, well, it doesn't. Says something like no screen present... i usually find out my hardware info through lspci -vv. for instance: 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: S3 Inc. 86C270-294 Savage/IX-MV (rev 11) (prog-if 00 [VGA]) is my first line after running the aforementioned command. the S3 Inc. is the company name and the Savage is the chipset (the part you want). then run dpkg-reconfigure with that info. cheers, -matt zagrabelny -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.
