Since it's working for me, here's the various packages that I have
installed. Most of these resulted from updating from debian.org
(yeah, yeah, I know I should use mirrors :-) ), on 3/15/01, using
sid/unstable.
xfree86-common: 4.0.2-7 (as well as font packages)
xlibs : 4.0.2-7
xfs-xtt: : 1.3.0.xf402-8
kdebase : 2.1.0.1-5
kdebase-libs : 2.1.0.1-5
kdelibs3 : 2.1.0.1-5
konqueror : 2.1.0.1-5
konsole : 2.1.0.1-5
kdm : 2.1.0.1-5
libqt2 : 2.3.0-final-1
libqt2.2 : 2.3.0-final-1
libfreetype6 : 2.0.1.20010312
I'm also using the 0.9-767 NVidia's supplied driver for my TNT2 card.
I've modified the XfsConfig file as reported here to add a bunch of
font name aliases.
I've gotten the Microsoft font package and installed that into
/usr/share/fonts/truetype and made the fonts.dir and fonts.scale names.
I've added all the fonts paths to the config files for xfs-xtt,
Xfree, and XftConfig.
Outside of that, I cannot think of any other changes I have from what
a standard Deb sid system would be running at.
If you need to know what other libraries I'm running, let me know.
