Don't hold me to this: I wasn't able to get xdm to work after upgrading my X packages. I fooled around with the xfree config file and now all is well. I use xfstt, and that's where my problem seemed to be. This is how I changed the xfree config file to get everything sailing smoothly again: Section "Files" RgbPath"/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/rgb" FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc/" FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi/:unscaled" FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi/:unscaled" FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1/" FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Speedo/" FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi/" FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi/" FontPath "inet/127.0.0.1:7101" EndSection Don't ask me why this works better (as opposed to a long string of FontPath variables) but it does. -- David J.

startx hell
startx won't run. It gives me: System: '/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb/xkbcomp -w 1 -R/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb -xkm -m us -em1 "The XKEBOARD keymap compiler (xkbcomp) reports: " -emp "? " -em1 "Errors from xkbcomp are not fatal to the X server keymap/xfree86 compiled/xfree86.xkm' Figuring that this is because I have no keymap installed, I searched the Debian package system for a keymap thingy. I found console-tools. However, when I do apt-get install console-tools I get a character-mode (ncurses?) display labelled "Debian Configuration" and then "Configuring Console-data", which is asking me what keyboard layout I want (qwerty, azerty, etc). However, this script does *nothing*. No keystroke has any effect except for Ctrl-C. So: how do I get startx to happen? TIA
