Re: xserver-xfree86 (4.0.2-7) freezing during install
Hello Charles,
You can do the command 'XFree86 --config' to get it to probe hardware
and create a generic XF86Config-4 file.
I do not know why the command 'dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86' does
not seem to be creating an XF86Config-4
file. I think that command should normally be the way to create your X
files for debian, but it seems to be broken, at least for me.
I looked on the http://bugs.debian.org/ and could not tell from the
descriptions if someone had entered a bug report on
that specific problem or not, so I may look them over again and perhaps
submit a bug on it. I even created an /etc/X11/X file
and and XF86Config-4 file in there. When I ran that command it asked me
if I wanted them to be overwritten. I said yes. It did
not make/overwrite the X and XF86Config files. I think it is definitely
a bug. I had to do the XFree86 --config and manually
edit it the XF86Config-4 file it made to make it that worked for my
Voodoo3 2000.
Anyone else having this problem? Just curious....
