Apologies if this has gone around before. I'm not exactly a regular
reader of this newsgroup. While trying to help somebody using Debian
Sid to install and operate the X.org ATi driver (version 6.9), I was
rather confused when his usage of the command dpkg-reconfigure
xserver-xorg completely skipped the steps of selecting a driver. I
referred him to one of the guides I have posted (
http://www.mepisguides.com/Mepis-7/fglrx/dpkg-7-b5/dpkg-os-betafive-fglrx-1.html
) to confirm that there was indeed a problem. I then "upgraded" the package xserver-xorg-core on an etch machine to the sid xserver-xorg-core package and promptly ran into an identical problem. The selection process for sid's version of dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg started about step 14 in the guide I had written. Is this is a known problem with the sid distribution? Is there a timeline on when the setup procedure will be fixed? jason frothingham gamenikki.com / mepisguides.com |
