Re: Debian GNU/Linux on a TiBook III webpage - still more questions



hi folks

first off a big thanks to christophe for posting this. I started from scratch and had a new kernel installed easily - the system is running much cooler. Minor additions to the list:

1. When first installing debian, choose to install the development tool task, so that you have the required gcc and kernel build tools.
2. For the mouse emulation, the symbolic link should be made via

ln ../init.d/mouse_emulation.sh S99mouseEmulation

(you forgot the init.d part)

Also, what are the keys used to emulate 2/3 button mouse in your script?

I am still stuck on installing X support as follows:

When I try to install Branden's x-window-system and x-window-system-core

I get a message that says there are unresolved dependencies, and a list of packages which are "needed, but won't be installed", and that the installation I am attempting is impossible.

for x-window-system:

<handful of xfonts packages>
xbase-clients
xutils

for x-window-system-core:

lbxproxy
proxymngr
twm
xdm
xfwp
wnest
xprpt
xterm
xvfb

E: sorry, broken packages

My guess is that either my upgraded kernel, or these packages, need access to unstable apt-get servers beyond the simple defaults I installed (ftp.us.debian.org)?

I have not tried Michael's drm-trunk yet, will install that after XF 4.2 is successfully installed, as I am following Christophe's directions to the tee.

Jim
