I am having a problem and I've only got a minimal xfce4 setup right now, enough to press alt-f2 to run iceweasel. I've basically lost the ability to start x into my normal KDE environment. I get some errors on the controlling terminal - these error messages are strange to me. startkde never gets to start; I get a blue screen with a mouse cursor, and nothing more.
In desperation, I tried geting X back by doing a basic reinstall of the xserver-xorg package but in turn seemingly lost nvidia - and now I cannot install nvidia-glx. I had it running (from sid) up until now. Most if not everything xserver-xorg is running from sid rather than from lenny because at the time lenny did not have nvidia-kernel-source or the proper revision of nvidia-glx. When I attempt to install nvidia-glx I get unresolved dependencies wanting nvidia-kernel-100.14.19, saying this is a virtual package. But I want nvidia-kernel-source and nvidia-kernel-common, right? I have those two packages installed from sid's repository but still can't get nvidia-glx (re)installed. Also this setup as it is is difficult to get a cut/paste or a script of the error(s) I get when I try and startx with my normal kde install. But I remember errors along the line of bad font path element - and unfortunately, nothing in /var/log/Xfree86 seems to be there detailing these errors. I'll probably follow up to this message in a little bit. Meanwhile, X is at least *somewhat* usable but this partial xfce environment I have (no taskbars, no panel, nothing but a gray screen and alt-f2 to run an app) isn't wanting to be tried that much longer. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
