In general, you can reconfigure packages with 'dpkg-reconfigure ' This procedure, applied to xserver-xfree86, should give you a file '/etc/X11/XF86Config-4'. If you want to reconfigure X later on, dexter does a decent job of it. HTH, j On Tue, Dec 12, 2000 at 07:30:14PM +, Craig Coles wrote

The XF86Setup utility only comes with the xserver-vga16 package. The VGA16 server in the xserver-vga16 package should work with any video card, so that is why the X based configuration utility comes only with it. Since I want to use higher resolutions and more colors than plain VGA can offer, I

Thanks, I installed the xserver-S3v server, since that is the chipset that my (S3 Virge) graphics card has; does it also have these features? Greg At 09:48 PM 1/8/98 +0200, Heikki Vatiainen wrote: >Hi, > >If you have not already installed xserver-vga16 package, please do

Hi, If you have not already installed xserver-vga16 package, please do so. With the xserver-vga16 package comes a utility named XF86Setup which will make configuring X much more easier. You probably do not want to use the VGA16 server so answer 'no' when the installation script asks you if you

I have XFree86 setup; but with some problems. First, the setup from dselect did not indicate that I neded any fonts to be loaded, and this (of course) caused failures. THis would be a good dependency to note! Also; the level of detail for Xsetup that requires refresh rates, dot-clock, chip set

I suspect you told xf86config to Probe. Do not probe. And do not use the fancy setup program. And then make sure you see a stable grey screen before venturing further. You may also have to use the following command line. startx -- -bpp 16 Chuma Shaul Peleg wrote: > I have tried numerous insta
