Hello Charles, You can do the command 'XFree86 --config' to get it to probe hardware and create a generic XF86Config-4 file. I do not know why the command 'dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86' does not seem to be creating an XF86Config-4 file. I think that command should normally be the way to create your X files for debian, but it seems to be broken, at least for me. I looked on the http://bugs.debian.org/ and could not tell from the descriptions if someone had entered a bug report on that specific problem or not, so I may look them over again and perhaps submit a bug on it. I even created an /etc/X11/X file and and XF86Config-4 file in there. When I ran that command it asked me if I wanted them to be overwritten. I said yes. It did not make/overwrite the X and XF86Config files. I think it is definitely a bug. I had to do the XFree86 --config and manually edit it the XF86Config-4 file it made to make it that worked for my Voodoo3 2000.
Anyone else having this problem? Just curious.... Jimmy Richards On 16 Mar 2001 12:41:41 -0800, Charles Lewis wrote: > Trying to install X on a brand new sid box.
