Re: [sjaensch@gmx.net: Issues regarding XFree4 and NVidia drivers]
This is probably the problem with 2.4 and no font server running. If you check the log output, I bet the last message is probing the mouse. Try commenting out the font server from XF86Config-4, or alternatively (which I haven't tested), run a local font server before you start X. -kzm -- If I haven't seen further, it is by standing in the footprints of giants -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Re: [giuliano@ronchiato.it: X 4.0.1-6: problems]
Giuliano, I posted much the same question as your #1 yesterday, and someone had posted a response to my question shortly after I asked. Check the debian-x archives for their response. :) Regarding xf86cfg, this is to be expected. It is not nearly ready to be called a production tool. You can use dexter(1) to generate an XF86Config-4 file, or you can write one yourself. (See XF86Config(5).) And, I haven't a clue how to make the keyboard go. * Branden Robinson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> [001121 22:41]: > - Forwarded message from Giuliano Grandin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> - > > From: Giuliano Grandin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: X 4.0.1-6: problems > Date: Wed, 22 Nov 2000 00:28:48 +0100 > Delivered-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Delivered-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > X-Mailer: Mozilla 4.75 [en] (X11; U; Linux 2.2.15 i686) > X-Accept-Language: it, en > > Dear Mr. Branden, I'm Giuliano Grandin and I write from Italy. > > I have three problemss. > > 1. > I have just downloaded Xfree 4.0.1-6, but at the end of the process of > upgrading from 4.0.1-5, I got an error message and couldn't go on in any > way. > > The message said that there was an error in the post-installation script > of xserver-xfree86, the code number is 1 (one). > > Neither `dpkg --configure --pending', nor `apt-get -f install' could > resolve the situation. > > 2. > All the versions of XFree 4 gave me a message, and I can't use the keys > of the italian keyboard obtained by pressing and another key > (for the at-sign for emails, for example). > This is the message: > > The XKEYBOARD keymap compiler (xkbcomp) reports: > > Error:Can't find file "xfree86" for keycodes include > > Exiting > > Abandoning keycodes file "default" > Errors from xkbcomp are not fatal to the X server > Couldn't load XKB keymap, falling back to pre-XKB keymap > > > 3. > xf86cfg hangs when I use it: if I use I can exit > it. > > Can you give me some help, please?

what happened to dexter? it doesn't want to generate the XF86Config-4 file anymore (it goes for the v3 version, even though i don't have any v3 servers installed). actually i just figured this out. if the Xserver file still exists (and it doesn't get purged when you remove the v3 servers) and the first line in Xserver still lists the old v3 Xserver then dexter goes in v3 compatibility mode. once i changed the first line to /usr/X11R6/bin/XFree86 dexter started configuring the v4 server. i don't think dexter should be looking at the Xserver file to decide what mode (v3 vs. v4) to use for the config file. --alex-- -- | I believe the moment is at hand when, by a paranoiac and active | | advance of the mind, it will be possible (simultaneously with | | automatism and other passive states) to systematize confusion | | and thus to help to discredit completely the world of reality. |

Hi Branden, can you please add these patches for your next version. It seems they are all that is needed to get X4.0 built on m68k. If my machine hadn't crashed three times in a row during the install target, I might have tested them already. Anyhow, the patches shouldn't do any harm to non-m68k build.

Another xserver-xfree86.postinst failure
Hi,
I got this error at the bottom of the attachment today when upgrading from
-5 to -6. I'm using today's woody, perl-5.6 (that readlink-thingie seems
to use perl) and I don't have /etc/X11/X. Besides, I think that symlink
has never been there on my system during those three years I've been using
Debian. Or maybe it has been there, but anyway, that symlink didn't exist
when I upgraded to -6.

xmms is crashing my XFree4.0.1...
Hello, For some reason, my machine hangs solidly when I run xmms - I have a TNT2-M64, and am using XFree4.0.1 from woody. (Not nvidia drivers, they do not work at this point.) What can it be that xmms does that hangs my system? Any tips as to what else to test will be greatly appreciated. Note: when running X straight "out-of-the-box" after running dexter, it refuses to load, with a bunch of unresolved symbols, with references to libGLcore and libdri (I think - if more exact info is needed, I'll supply it). Is this a known problem? I got past this by commenting out the commands in the "Module" section that loads "GLcore", "dri" and "glx". Could this cause a problem? How do I get past this? I feel I should get the nv driver working properly before trying nvidia's drivers again. (With them, my machine's screen flashes a couple of times, then hangs, with a blank screen. I did edit the sources as instructed by the M64_README - or whatever it was called...) Thanks in advance for any tips, Hugo van der Merwe
Re: xserver-xfree86 postinst fails in 4.0.1-6
Seth, I ran into this problem. As a workaround,I linked /usr/X11R/bin/X to that one specified in the error message. Then, I edited /etc/X11/Xserver to be "Anybody" instead of "console."

Re: uncompatible window manager?
Christian, I get that quite often. I just open up the control center (gnomecc from an xterm) and specify sawfish. I sometimes make a new listing for sawfish (sometimes that builtin option doesn't work).

xmms is crashing my XFree4.0.1...
Hello, For some reason, my machine hangs solidly when I run xmms - I have a TNT2-M64, and am using XFree4.0.1 from woody. (Not nvidia drivers, they do not work at this point.) What can it be that xmms does that hangs my system? Any tips as to what else to test will be greatly appreciated. Note: when running X straight "out-of-the-box" after running dexter, it refuses to load, with a bunch of unresolved symbols, with references to libGLcore and libdri (I think - if more exact info is needed, I'll supply it). Is this a known problem? I got past this by commenting out the commands in the "Module" section that loads "GLcore", "dri" and "glx". Could this cause a problem? How do I get past this? I feel I should get the nv driver working properly before trying nvidia's drivers again. (With them, my machine's screen flashes a couple of times, then hangs, with a blank screen. I did edit the sources as instructed by the M64_README - or whatever it was called...) Thanks in advance for any tips, Hugo van der Merwe -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: xserver-xfree86 postinst fails in 4.0.1-6
Seth, I ran into this problem. As a workaround,I linked /usr/X11R/bin/X to that one specified in the error message. Then, I edited /etc/X11/Xserver to be "Anybody" instead of "console." This is grossly insecure. Has anyone else have this problem? On Tue, 21 Nov 2000, Seth Arnold wrote: |Branden, my roommate is having trouble with the 4.0.1-6 upgrade.

Sigh, I suppose this means that someone (probably me, as I'm bringing it up) should write a program to look to see what video card you have, and spit out what packages should be installed, removed, and how they should be configured.

I need to modify the glide2 and glide3 postinsts to be a little nicer about that, then tempt fate by asking -devel to let me make them standard.
