Re: Unidentified subject!
I believe there is an SiS X server that you may need to download. I think it's called sis-xserver in apt-get (someone comfirm this for me?). If not, you can download the server from linux.tucows.com (or www.xfree86.org). Good Luck. ** Derek J Witt ** * Email: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] * * Home Page: http://www.flinthills.com/~djw/ * *** "...and on the eighth day, God met Bill Gates." - Unknown **

Good evening, Well, I've just downloaded Debian 2.2 rev0... everything is OK except that I can't run an x-server. ( XFree 3.3.6 ) Here are the results of a 'xviddetect' command : 11060691 | i386 | via technologies, Inc. | VT82C691 [Apollo PRO] 11068595 | i386 | via technologies, Inc. | VT 82c598 [apollo MVP3 AGP] 10396326 | i386 | Silicon Integated Systems [SiS] | 86C326 I've launched XF86Setup command and tried svga-server but it said that the screen is opened in another terminal or something like that. I've even tried vga-server and agx-server... only a X-blank-screen and nothing. Ctrl+Alt+backspace was the only thing to do. My video card is simply a SiS 6326 ( 3D2D PRO ) in the AGP slot. If somebody has the solution, please answer ... regards, Thierry LAFAILLE

Re: Uninstalling XFree 4.0.1
Anders, I have a feeling that this won't work so well. Your best bet is to save your XF86Config file from 3.x someplace, purge the packages, and then install the new 4.x series afresh. If you want to revert to 3.x, purge the 4.x series, and reinstall the 3.x series, and copy over your XF86Config file. Or, at least, that is how I would do it. :) * Anders Berg <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> [000916 09:12]: > Hi! > A while ago I installed XFree4.0.1 from the source tarball from > xfree86.org.

Experience with p1v8-current(p2v5)
Really good job by debian team on these, probably mostly Branden, but since I don't know... thanks all for the effort. Since this is where we are directed for bugs/info on these packages thought I might give some feedback. I've been running these since phase 1 v8, and now I am using apt to keep them current off of samosa. >From the initial d/l and install over woody 3.3.6? debs things have gone fairly smooth. Read the docs and try to follow as best I could. The warning on install about app-defaults being a dir and not a symlink etc... I tried something that seems to 'work for me'. I used cp /...app-defaults/* to /etc...new loc, realizing this may/may not work and if it does only at that moment, any new packages/upgrades would put the same old info in wrong spot. Works for me for now. I use vesafb for text console display, my initial attempts at xf86cfg, etc. left me with a blank screen and a skeleton XF86Config in my home directory. My best solution was to run the old xf86config textmode program and use that with some cut/paste from the skeleton file having to do with my Nvidia Riva TNT video card and CTX monitor to piece together a usable config file. Odd though, under 3.3.6 I could run at 32bpp now limited to 24 bpp, think that has to do with TNT card however. I have xbase-clients installed 4.0.1.etc. However trying to run the xconsole from that package is a bit odd. Firstly, my /etc/alternatives/xconsole points to /usr/X11R6/bin/xconsole.real which is nonexistant. Attempting to exec update-alternatives --config xconsole gave me (zero)0 choices? I am able to run xconsole via the command line. Think the postint script is misconfigured to handle/update the /etc/alternatives linkage? Again thanks for all the hard work. Gordon Sadler
Uninstalling XFree 4.0.1
Hi! A while ago I installed XFree4.0.1 from the source tarball from xfree86.org. It compiled and installed nicely on my woody installation. Now I would like to remove it though, and install the 3.x included in the distro. When I installed 4.0.1 I just put the 3.x "on hold" in dselect. How should I go about getting back to the Debian 3.x-installation in a smooth way? Regards, //Anders Berg
