X 4.2.0 on Woody/mips: can't find modules
I have a Debian/Woody install on an SGI Indy with the Newport XL-24 gfx
card. I had a working XFree86 until I upgraded to 4.2.0. Now it can not
find the necessary modules. Attached below is the error log.
The packages were updated using dselect from
http://people.debian.org/~branden/sid/mips/.
The ModulePath directory "/usr/X11R6/lib/modules" given does not exist
... hmmmm....
In a possibly related problem: xfs no longer starts either... "error
while loading shared libraries: libXfont.so.1: cannot open shared object
file: No such file or directory already running."
I have checked Google without success. There are plenty of references to
similar problems - but no solution that worked for me.
Kernel: Linux indy 2.4.17-r4k-ip22
Thanks
