Re: XFree86 4.1 --> 4.2.1 (Woody)

So, here we meet again ;-) First of all, get Your fingers away - far far away - from any Xfree86.org binaries! Worst idea ever, really. On my notebook I "upgraded" manually to xfree 4.3 (because of a lack of driver support for Geforce Go chipsets in 4.1). Finally, when the next X Update arrived,

Re: XFree86 4.1 --> 4.2.1 (Woody)

Not sure if this helps but . I took two approaches to this. First I downloaded the non-debian packages from the XFREE site. I left the Woody X packages in place to satisfy dependencies and then installed the XFREE packages on top. It seemed to work OK for me but there might be problems t

RE: Xfree86: "no screens found" with default configuration

HI I'm with Benedict on this one. I have a Matrox G400 Dualhead, which always makes X throw a wobbler ("no screens found") if I allow the Framebuffer stuff during the xserver configuration during setup. I have found running dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86 after installation and responding no to F

Thanks, that worked, I used dpkg-reconfigure to tell the server not to use the framebuffer. Chris On Sunday 18 January 2004 20:22, Scott C. Linnenbringer wrote: > On Sun, Jan 18, 2004, at 19:20 +0100, Dr.-Ing. C. Hurschler wrote: > > Hi, > > > > I'm using an ATI Rage 129 Pro Graphics card with n
