Woody with KDE 3.1 and XFree86 4.3
From: Geoff Maclean <g_maclean@optusnet.com.au>
To: debian-sig@luv.asn.au
My video card seems to have been a poor choice - a Leadtek WinFast A 180 DDR
(Nvidia GeForce4 MX 440 with AGP8X).
I'm a newbie and have had many experimental moments trying to get X to start.
I've previously tried updating to sarge and I also added deb
http://www.schuldei.org/debian/bruby/ ./ to my sources.list to get a better
XFree86. The result worked but that took away KDE and I'm a van of KDE over
gnome or others.
So then I tried to go to sid but that was too much for my modem connection
(plus I got confused about apt-get resuming etc as the packages would have
changed each night.)
I then went back to Woody and stuck with stable but thought I'd go with
XFree86 4.3 using deb ftp://linux.upsa.es/pub/XFREE4.3/ ./ and at the same
time thought I'd get a later KDE by adding deb
http://download.kde.org/stable/3.1.4/Debian stable main
Things seemed to look good, got the KDE choose language, look etc, and even
the KDM login screen. But after doing so all I get is the Debian logo
desktop with no toolbars or other usable functions.
I jump to another tty and being a newbie try to restart X (all this as root -
yes horribly inproper I know but until I work out how to give a user a bit
more power that's what I'll stick with) and get the following error;
xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server
xlib: Invalid MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 key
giving up
Xinit: unable to connect to X server
Xinit: No such process (errno 3): server error
I have attempted to serach for answers on the internet, but being a newbie
I'm lost and now ask for some easy to understand help.
I'm not a big one for tar balls and stuff, prefering the apt-get way so any
thing in that domain to help me get X 4.3 with KDE and Woody going would be
most appreciated.
A while I'm at it, is it at all possible to have Sarge and KDE? From what
I've read, it seems not, instead I have to go to sid.

Hi Geoff,
The standard Woody XF4.0.x or Sarge XF4.2.x should be fine. What you
need to do is obtain the binary-only nvidia drivers. The packages are
nvidia-kernel-src (nvidia gart driver) and nvidia-glx-src (nvidia x
driver). I think they live in non-free.
Depending on your mainboard, you may want to move off kernel 2.4.18
(woody) as well. Some newer mobos like a KT400 or nForce2 aren't
properly supported by the older kernel and this will lead to shitty
performance (like no DMA on your hdd)
Now as forKDE showing nothing... I've had that (on Sid) and people on
#debian-kde @ freenode had no idea how to fix it. Purging all KDE/X
packages and their config files, then reinstalling didn't help. In the
end I wiped the box, installed from scratch and KDE ran fine.
- Peter.
