The Dell C400 is troublesome, in particular with Debian since its policy of conservative upgrades. Anyway, I have downloaded the following packages:
XFree86 Version 4.3.0 (Debian 4.3.0-0ds2.0.0woody1 20030307145421 marcelo@) kernel-source-2.4.22 The kernel recompiled with settings as recommended. However, when issuing startx, the screens goes black, 30-60 seconds goes by, suddenly the screen looks X like with the X mouse pointer, but then I am back to console mode again. Looking into the /var/log/XFree86.0.log and grepping out (WW), (EE) and Warning, I get this: (WW) `fonts.dir' not found (or not valid) in "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/util". (WW) `fonts.dir' not found (or not valid) in "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/encodings". (WW) Open APM failed (/dev/apm_bios) (No such file or directory) (WW) I810(0): Bad V_BIOS checksum (WW) System lacks support for changing MTRRs (WW) I810(0): Extended BIOS function 0x5f11 not supported. (WW) I810(0): Bad V_BIOS checksum (WW) I810(0): Bad V_BIOS checksum (EE) I810(0): [dri] DRIScreenInit failed. Disabling DRI.

Or how to debug my situation? -- Jon Haugsand Dept. of Informatics, Univ. of Oslo, Norway, mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.ifi.uio.no/~jonhaug/, Phone: +47 22 95 21 52 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
