XFree 4.0.3 debs
Hello Debianfriends, Why libXv.so is not integrated in the new pre-debs from Branden Robinson's site? It is needed by applications like xine to view VCD or DVD in fullscreenmode. Thankz a lot for any response. cya Waldemar -- * Best MUA in the world: | (o_ * * http://www.mutt.org| //\ * * Linux rulez!;-)| V_/_ * * GnuPG-Key: 0xBE21BD90 | Tux: #155220 | ICQ: 64035650 * -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Re: XFree86 4.0.3-0pre1v1 available for testing on powerpc sparc
Another powerpc success report. Have been running 4.0.3-0pre1v1 for several days now on an iMac (Rage 128) with no problems whatsoever.
4.0.3 fixes two major bugs for me (SiS 6236)
Hi, At school I maintain several systems with SiS 6236 video cards. I upgraded to branden's 4.0.3 packages today, and three major problems went away: 1. When you first start the X server, no images or text are drawn. You have to switch to text-mode and back to get them. 2. After logging out of a session, gdm dies and you are stuck with a blank screen. This happened with multiple versions of gdm AND one version of kdm, and I'm pretty sure it started happening when I upgraded to Xfree 4.0.x. This is now fixed too. So, now these systems are usable :) Thanks guys! The only remaining problem is the one with ssh-agent not running. The gdm gnome session apparently does not respect commenting out use-ssh-agent in Xsession.options, so you have to edit Xsession.options and then fix /etc/gdm/Sessions/Gnome. finally! Everything works :) -BenRI -- ...assisted of course by pride, for we teach them to describe the Creeping Death, as Good Sense, or Maturity, or Experience. - The Screwtape Letters Benjamin Redelings I http://www.bol.ucla.edu/~bredelin/
