Hi, I am relatively new to installing my own Debian system (2.1r4). Until now, I have managed quite well with dselect. However, I haven't been able to get X up and running yet on my video card (a Diamond Viper 550 16Mb).
I checked the various faq's and docs and they suggested I install 3.3.6 of X86Free. So I got all those packages and installed them with dpkg. However, I am still not able to get it to work (using the correct server + driver + monitor details). An upgrade to 4.01 hopefully will do it for me - but it is not yet available as a debian package. Now coming to my real question: how interchangeble are the installations done via dpkg/dselect and 'normal' installations via tarballs? I would like to keep dependency information and such, and an updated list of installed software for dselect. With kind regards, -- drs. Jean-Jack M.
