As with another user I've had problems with unstable. I killed X windows with 3.3.3-1, and can't seem to get it back with 3.3.2. XF86Setup just blanks the screen; returning to the tty1 I just find a segfault message. How much do I need to downgrade? Advice? Secondly, on my laptop, I lost log

I think I have a dying hard disk; the only other option is some virus. I was upgrading libc & gcc compliers (from potato) on my laptop over a PLIP connection when I gradually started losing priviledges to ftp and telnet into the machine. Once I logged out I couldn't log back in, even as root.

Keyboard lock

OK, after running Debian Linux for a week, my system developed the following bug. After logging in from xdm, I can get in about five to twenty keystrokes before the keyboard locks and I can't even do a vulture nerve pinch to shut down. My previous Slackware partition runs fine. I don't have e

X fonts, Re: xdm config

I just answered a question I had about X fonts. XFree86 3.2 fonts are compressed, while XFree86 3.3 are gzipped. To convert between compression formats it is not sufficient to change only the compression of the fonts, but also the fonts.dir file in each font directory, which list font_type.p

Thanks for the responses. Yes, run-xconsole is unnecessary (I also comment it out), but the xdm-start-server was missing. Note: not no-xdm-start-server (or perhaps this is this an option?) As someone else pointed out, the line :0 local /usr/X11R6/bin/X needed to be inserted in /etc/X11/xdm/X
