Subject: followup: [SLUG] Almost impossible Question : Latest
XFree86 install on debian My first ever Post & what a response
Thanks guys
Here info for those with similiar
probs
Tom provided a work aroud solution:
#############################################
Sent me his file
"XF86Config-4.txt"
generated on mandrake
which I edited to suit my keyboard & mouse as
per
"XF86Config-4.new"
And it works great!
Files attached FYI .
#############################################
........To fix the the
"upgradeXfree86" problem ......
Scott suggested:
#############################################
It appears to be missing the zlib.h file.
try installing zlibg1-dev, #############################################
........ I can't find "zlibg1-dev"
........ only found :zlibg_1.1.4-1_i386.deb &
zlib-bin1.1.4-1_i386.deb
....... any suggestions ????
.......have tried http://packages.debian.org
James gave this exellent advice:
#############################################
An easier solution would be to use one of the XFree86 4.2.x apt-able
sources from http://www.apt-get.org/ and
install the "latest" version using apt. OK, so it wouldn't be as bleeding
edge as the CVS branch but recent enough to download NVidia's driver, do the
necessary kernel compile things and reboot. Apparently NVidia's
how-to works as long as you follow it to the letter
#############################################
...... site currently I can't access
I spent huge number of hrs downloading &
compiling , although I have a work around ,
the problem is ongoing
Cheers
