While there may be a way to update the list so that dselect can find it (someone else may know), it would still be less convenient that simply using dpkg. And since dselect used dpkg to install the package anyway, why not skip the middle man? Your list of files will stay current and the next time you run dselect it will show the deb as installed.

What do I get? I don't see an xfree86*.deb file I'd like to start from scratch if that's simpler.

Which deb's do I need? W/o the dependancy thing, I'm at a bit of a loss. Thanx -- Greg - Original Message - dselect reads a package list and then allows you to install from that list.

I assumed that you already knew which driver you needed - my mistake ;-) Let's ask the question again, maybe someone with your card can advise you where the best drivers are and how best to download them. Can anyone with a Diamond Viper 770 help Greg??? Good Luck John -- Powered by the Penguin

Can anyone with a Diamond Viper 770 help Greg??? I don't have one of these but according to Diamonds web site the card uses the TNT2 chipset. I don't know which version of X you are running but there is official support in the SVGA server from 3.3.4, which is not at netgod's site. There is a SVGA server released by Nvidia(that was incorporated into 3.3.4) that you can get from Nvidia's web site(Search the debian-user list archives for the location). You should just be able to stick the binary in /usr/local/bin and then edit /etc/X11/Xserver. You might also be able to do this with the SVGA server from 3.3.4 with everything else a 3.3.3.1 system, I am not sure. -- Brian - Mechanical Engineering [EMAIL PROTECTED] Purdue University http://www.ecn.purdue.edu/~servis -
