Hello. For the moment, if you're using the bk trees, you need to make sure that the 'parent' property is set to ppc.bkbits.net or source.mvista.com. If you're using one of the other bk domains for your trees, such as ppc.bkserver.net, do: $ bk parent `bk parent -p | sed s/bkserver/bkbits/` >Fro

Dear all, tks for help to all, i get my X 4.1.x working and the solution was XF86Config-4 from Koos. i compared my old config-file (dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86) with the one from Koos and this are the differences: - less Modules selected (Koos file) - commented out the Pci-BusID (Koos file)

Chris I am using 3.3.6. If I submit a bug report, I don't think they will pay much attention to it. However, I would still be willing to submit one. Since, I have never done so, How do I submit a bug for this problem? Thanks, Jaime C. Avila On Tue, 28 May 2002, Chris Tillman wrote: > On Tue,
