xf86cfg segfault, missing directories (?)
Hi... (disclaimer: I'm still a bit of a newbie in this area, so please
be gentle :) What I did today:
1. Installed Potato on workstation (clean partitions, just essential
packages).
2. Set up sources.list to point to "unstable" branch, did "apt-get
dist-upgrade", handled a few problems, blah... also set up sources.list
to point to Branden's X 4.1.0-pre site (I have not installed X yet).
3. Installed the xfree 4.1.0-0pre1v5 packages. Everything was downloaded,
installed, and configured according to dpkg.
4. Ran "xf86cfg -textmode". When I got to the Card option, I got a segfault.
5. Ran xf86cfg thru strace, the last few lines of strace says:
stat64("/usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers/linux/", 0xbfffda7c) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
stat64("/usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers", 0xbfffda7c) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
--- SIGSEGV (Segmentation fault) ---
+++ killed by SIGSEGV +++
What part of the installation process should these directories be created?
My setup is currently missing the drivers directory.
TIA, Alan.
