Problem with X-CD-Roast

Hi. It seems I am unable to launch X-CD-Roast: I always get the message Can't initialize the Tix extension. I have the xcdroast_0.96-1 and the tix41_4.1.0.6-1 packages installed. It's the first time I use either one, so I don't know if my problem is specific to those versions. Does anyone have

xserver_s3v

I'm using the lastest xserver_s3v from hamm with a Diamond Stealth 3D 2000 (S3 virge chipset). I can't get it to work in 16 bpp mode with a screen size of 1024x768. Supposedly, that's because the former s3v specs only allowed a maximum rate of 80MHz in 16 bpp mode. Since then, S3 relaxed the spe

New login logs everybody

Hi. It seems the latest login package now puts every login process in /var/log/auth.log, instead of the former root logins, su and login failures. Is there any way to revert to the former behavior without having to revert to the former package ? If so , which one ?

Problems with some packages

Hi everybody. I've recently encountered two problems while using dselect : - gs-aladdin keeps downgrading after upgrading (in this case, it upgrades to 4.03-7 and almost imediately reverts to 4.03-6). - In the last batch of twenty or so packages I upgraded, one changed the files I had in /etc/

GhostScript and Magicfilter

Since the last version of GhostScript was included in the distribution, I can't use magicfilter to automagically print my PostScript files. The reason seems to be : ghostscript now uses SVGAlib. To get I/O permissions for a 'base' user, it should then be set to +s I believe. Is that safe to do ? W
