I did, and the resultant /root/XF86Config.new got me
to a new error message, complaining about a lack of 32
fbbpi Display subsection, so I added a Depth 32
subsection, and voila, I got to a grey screen (yay!!)
but a hung mouse. -configure didn't pick up the
/dev/sunmouse input device.
So, I went into /etc/X11/XF86Config-4, and added in
the 32 bit pixed depth Dispaly Subsection, with
appropriate modes, and bang, we're working.
Two Followup Questions:
Who do I report these findings to?
/etc/X11/XF86Config-4 is being maintained by debconf.
By editing it by hand, what are the implications?
Thanks to all who offered help, and to Jamin in
particular!!!
