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 ALT-Gr 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 CTRL-ALT-BACKSPACE I can exit
it.

Can you give me some help, please? Some docs to read?

tia
Giuliano Grandin

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.
