Hi, all, OK, I figured out that the cause of my 'problem' is the Xaw3dg package required by gv. I've read all the documentation regarding scrollbars and even tried downloading the sources from ftp.x.org, but the directions given in /usr/doc/Xaw3dg/scrollbars didn't work for me. It said './debian

The Accel-X's xinit and xdm don't work on Debian? Did you try running ldd on them to see what libraries they are linked to, and then check to see if you actually have the libraries. If you have them, try running "nm" on the library to see if the function has actually been resolved or defined in t
