make X messages more verbose

2001-10-06 Thread Aaron Maxwell
You know how when the X server starts with startx, it prints text to the screen and more text to /var/log/XFree86.0.log? Is there a way I can make either or both more verbose (e.g. a debugging option)? Last night when I apt-updated my sid box, it replaced some of the X libraries. Today my X ser

Hi, I'd like help getting hardware acceleration enabled for my Voodoo3 card. I'm running today's woody, so all my X packages are version 4.1. My X server is supplied by xserver-xfree86. From reading the documentation, what's needed is for the 'tdfx' module to be loaded; it is, but that doesn't

You probably won't have to do anything special. What is the 'fairly common source' you speak of? A month ago, I upgraded from potato (stable) to woody (testing, and soon to be stable). In potato, my KDE 2.1 packages came from kde.tdyc.com. The KDE packages are part of woody, so I only had on

Hi James. I can answer some of your questions... It sounds like Netscape isn't installed yet. To find out, get to a command line by starting up an Eterm (or something similar, like xterm or rxvt - these can probably be found in the menus when you click on the desktop.) Type 'netscape' in th

Hi Gregor. You can use the 'du' command: $ du -sk /usr 1867575 /usr This will tell you the sum total size of all files in all subdirectories of /usr, in kilobytes (on my system, 1867575 kB, or about 1.87 gigs). If you want the number in megabytes instead, use 'du -sm /usr'. The -s option tells

I'm using KDE 2.1 and the KDE window manager (kwin, which is started by the script /usr/bin/kde2). I love it, except that all the window ops are very slow. Switching focus between two rxvt's, for example, takes well over 500ms; so I'll do an alt-tab to switch from window A to window B, and I have
