[fixed] can't configure xserver-xfree86
Hi all again!
I was finally able to resolve the problem!
For the archive:
-> the automatical configuration of xserver-xfree86 after downloading with
dselect didn't work
and hangs! kill with Ctrl-C
-> configure with xf86config, because xf86cfg just left me with a black
screen (seems to have
problems with the Geforce 2 MX card)
-> link the X-Server with: ln -s /usr/X11/bin/XFree86 /etc/X11/X
-> start with startx
now everything works!
(except mouse -> disable mouse repetition with gpmconf)
thx to all that provided me with help!
have fun,
Michael Bartl

Betreff: Re: can't configure xserver-xfree86
sorry, i think you misinterpreted my question:
when downloading a package with dselect (apt) it tries to configure it
automagically afterwards ([C]onfigure point in dselect)! There it hangs
at the package xserver-xfree86 forever...
can someone please explain why? should i just ignore it?
TIA,
Michael
