Just a shot in the dark here, based on my seeing these EXACT symptoms
multiple times after an upgrade to Woody.
Check out your /var/log/XFree86.?.log file(s) and see if it gives you
One pitfall of transfering from XFree3.* to XFree4.* is that the config file is

You might want to make sure that you configuration is save as the right file.
Good luck.

7;m not sure how to change the default xserver ... what config
file is this in?
I'm kind of lost when it comes to X normally, and now I'm even more lost
since things have changed a bit ...
Thanks!

Hi,
I finally upgraded to woody and mostly everything went smoothly or I
could solve them myself.
But two problems I couldn't figure out myself:
1) I have my xserver up and running. But dpkg tells me that it isn't able
to configure a bunch (12) of xservers. Just one server as an example:

I wouldn't worry at all about needing to reinstall from scratch.
I have some Debian _2.0_ CDs, and I installed them, upgraded to Potato
over the net, and from there to Woody. No real problems at all.
Just a couple of weeks or so ago, I installed Potato from CD on a VMWare
virtual machine, then u

I'm thinking of upgrading my potato (which has a
couple packages from unstable) installation to Woody. I'm a bit scared,
since this seems like a major overhaul and since I've never tried this before.
So I was hoping someone could give me an idea of what to expect (like how likely
it is I'm

Ok, have you checked to see whether X is still installed? Configured? The
startx script is part of xbase-clients... is that package present?

I upgraded to woody and although the installation seemed to go smoothly,
when it was done not a whole lot worked. I cannot start x ('startx' results
in a 'command not found') and apache ain't around either ('apachectl start'

A previously reported bug. I think it has been fixed in sid, but not yet

Debconf seems to rely on new perl.
I do not know what exactly the reason because dist-upgrade should take
