XF86Setup "segmentation fault"
I'm working on upgrading to woody, and here's my latest x windows problem:
I'd installed xdm and xbase-clients (with all the dependent files and stuff)
then i ran XF86Setup, which worked fine at this point. Afterwards, I finished
my x installation by dpkg ing xserver-common, and xserver-svga (which i
believe is the right sever for my TNT2 graphics card). I ran x, which started
momentarily, but is of no use, because i accidentally forgot to hit "update"
when configuring the mouse.
So now i need to re-configure (preferably w/ XF86Setup b/c its so much
quicker and easier and isn't something that i want to remain broken). I ran
XF86Setup and errors similar to these streamed off the screen:
"Warning Server spcification missing in card database entry for <card such as
trident>"
or
"Warning Chipset spcification missing in card database entry for <only intel
cards are mentioned here>"
which ended with the ambiguous "segmentation fault" message.
Since then i've tried to re-install XF86Setup (the potato version as that's
the only on i can find on the debian packages page) but that wasn't be
problem b/c i'm getting the same errors. What do i need to do? Install
all\another xserver package perhaps?
At this point, i'm open to suggestions from people that have the slightest
idea waht they're talking a/b as i'm not getting much help with this problem.
thanks a lot...hopefully i won't have to go back to potato if i get this
working
