X update problem
I have an ATI Rage 128 Pro card and I'm using slink. I edited my
source.lists to point to www.debian.org/~vincent xfree-update main.
I did an apt-get update and then an apt-get upgrade. Everything seemed
to work, I received one warning "/usr/x11R6/lib/x11/doc symbolic link
points to the wrong place."
I tried to run xf86setup but it could not find the command. I went
into dselect and xf86setup was not installed. When I went to install
it, I was connected again to ~vincent. The packages to be installed
were:
xserver-common, xfonts-75dpi, xfonts-base, xlib6g, xserver-vga16
I then answered the prompts according to my O'reilly book and my PC's
equipment. Everything went fine until the testing phase. I received
the following:
"x: exec of /usr/bin/x11/sf86.svga failed"
"/var/lib/info/xserver-vga16.postint:kill:(416) - No such pid"
"x server work properly?" I answered n
"Checking /etc/x11/xf86config for problems."
"No problems found with the XFree86 configuration file."
"Preserve /etc/x11/xf86config just created (quit keeps file)?" I
answered q
If the program didn't find any problems, but x still doesn't work, what
do I do now?
Thanks.
