You can't run utah on 4.0 - yet you blindly install 4.0 over every system by dependcies. You don't even bother checking /proc to see what card is installed. A simple grep of /proc/pci shows I have an AGP G400, not a V3! I have a machine that has half 3.3.6-18 and 4.0 installed now - and I had the utah package installed! You should check for utah before 'upgrading' blindly over it. I told you people not to do this - 3d accel is very important - you shouldn't dissmiss it outright. I'm having to reinstall all my X libs and applications now, and I can't develop my projects while fixing your mistakes. cheers, Terry --------------------------------------------------- | GooseEgg http://gooseegg.sourceforge.net | | QuakeForge http://www.quakeforge.net | | Personal http://www.westga.edu/~stu7440 | | | | Dream is running Debian GNU/Linux | --------------------------------------------------- ----- End forwarded message ----- -- G.
