Re: XFree issues
If you can spare a partition in your hard disk (or, better, if your hard disk/s are in removable drawers), then you can make a fresh minimal Debian installation in the spare partition. Once the fresh installation is working, copy the XF86Config-4 created there to your regular installation. If you followed the safe practice of giving a separate partition to /var and/or /tmp, then you can temporarily move them to the root partition, modify your fstab, and then install. After rebuilding the XF86Config-4, go back to the original configuration. I believe that all this can be done in less than an hour (including few reboots). --- Omer WARNING TO SPAMMERS: at http://www.zak.co.il/spamwarning.html On Wed, 18 Dec 2002, Amir Tal wrote: OK, now I'm really pissed ! its been like 3 hours now, that i am trying to get over this problem, and its like obvious that one ofyou geniuses will see the config file and the answer will just pop in front of you...right ? ;) while trying to get a better driver for my Neomagic VGA card, i've installed the svga server, and debconf screwed up my XF86Config-4, which i was stupid enough NOT to backup first..

What program creates XF86Config-4 during the installation? Look at man xf86config and man xf86cfg Can't it be run manually? AFAIK, yes. However: if Amir Tal's original problem was not only in his XF86Config-4 file but also in another place, then a quick way to solve the problem would have been to have a clean and working installation. Amir could then compare all of his config files with the corresponding ones in the clean installation, and even temporarily substitute them - until he finds which was botched up without backup. (For now, this is just an academic discussion, as Amir Tal solved his problem.) --- Omer WARNING TO SPAMMERS: at http://www.zak.co.il/spamwarning.html = To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word unsubscribe in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]

What program creates XF86Config-4 during the installation? Can't it be run manually? You can use 'xf86cfg -textmode' which is supplied with XFree86. On Debian, you should supposedly be able to run 'dpkg --configure package' to overwrite the configuration files with the default ones. Also, when you remove a package, the configuration files are not erased (and will not be overwritten by subsequent installs) unless you purge (dpkg --purge package) the package. = To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word unsubscribe in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
