duh!
My x freezes on start after I installed etch and I want to use
xf86config to reconfigure it. What happened to that utlitlty? I cannot
work out what package its in.
Also, in the debian reference manual, at
http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/reference/ch-tune.en.html#s-xsrvr, it
refers to xserver-common-v3 (I think I need this as I have an old matrox
card)- I can find no such package in etch - is the ref manual out of
date or something? Surely not?
Thanks for any help,
Have you looked at the release notes? Perhaps:
http://www.debian.org/releases/stable/i386/release-notes/ch-information.en.html#s-xorg
OK - thanks. This just takes me to section 5.14 - default editor...I
know you're trying but that doesn't help much ;)
It seems the bits of documentation I can find on the debian site don't
match up with etch. I cannot undertsand that and will not comment.
Release Notes for Debian GNU/Linux 4.0 ("etch"), Intel x86 - Issues to
be aware of for etch
5.3 XFree86 to X.Org transition
I'm not transitioning - install from scratch on an old machine.
Also, /etc/X11/xorg.conf and $ man xorg.conf.
Post errors from /var/log/ for more help.
The best I can do to determine my (PCI) card is read what's on the
card/chip which says:
MATROX - MGA 1164SG-A
I tried dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg, which asked lots opf questions
many of which bore no semblance of what xf86config used to ask. In
particular something about a PCI Bus ID... ????
I took the defaults when prompted as I knew not what else to put.
xf86config in woody/sarge worked fine with this card - I know its old
but c'mon...even shitty windows can provide a driver for it.
