Problem solved! I found in the old 3.3.6 XFree86 FAQ a reference to a program
called SuperProbe which told me my video chipset is a Cirrus 5464 which is one
of the options on the dexter configurator.

I'm wondering how things are standing with XFree86 4.0.1 packages for
Debian 2.2 (Potato). I've noticed that they are already available for
Woody, but not for Potato. I've tried to compile the woody source package,
but I keep recompiling libs to get it the libs compiled
Try using mkttfdir (included in fttools) instead of ttmkfdir when you create
the fonts.dir file.

Okay, I'm having a bit of an X upgrade problem. I've already been

Any ideas how to fix this.
During the install I get the following error.
xserver-xfree86 (4.0.1-6) --configure
subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1
Solution to the xserver-xfree86 install problem:
In the install script /var/lib/dpkg/info/xserver-xfree86.postinst line
60 must be corrected from
ln -sf /etc/X11/X "$this_server" (MISTAKE!)
to
ln -sf "$this_server" /etc/X11/X
(a quite common mistake which I myself often go for).

It'll be in when the X maintainer decides that his packages are stable
enough for general use. My impression is that their current state

Hello World,
I wonder when XFree86 4.0.1 comes into woody.
And when it has come in, whether dselect will update it or not.

Hi there..,
I am having trouble running gnome calendar under XFree86 v 4.0.1. I get
the error:
Gdk-WARNING **: Missing charsets in FontSet creation
Gdk-WARNING **: ISO8859-1
Gdk-WARNING **: ISO8859-1
This repeats a few times then the program segfaults. Same thing happens
with gmc and
Hey folks,
thanks for all the folks to those you gave me hints with loading font
modules in 4.0.1. I have found that after switching to a console on a
virtual terminal (out of X) and back to X again, I lose my mouse! I've got
a logitec mouseman that is 'autodetected' by X and works great. Howev
Hi there,
You can actually install the XFree4.0.1 release from the binaries
on the XFree86.org site. All works like a dream, you don't need to compile
from source! However it screws up the package management of course! But so
does compiling from source!
Also I suggest that one runs 'update
I have a r128 (and a matrox mga) w/xfree 4.0.1 also, I too see these
errors every time I startx. It's actually comforting to hear someone else

is also much improved for 4.0.1 than just flat 4.0.

I did the same thing you did and I get those same errors. It doesn't seem
to hurt anything so I always i
Howdy folks,
I successfully compiled XFree 4.0.1 from source with some very helpful
suggestions from a /. post. I've compiled alot of source, but never
anything this big. anyway, it went fine, everything in /usr/local/X11R6/
and all the configs are fine and I even get the xserver to start and

I had the same problem. It turned out I needed

then I had to update /etc/X11/XF86Config:

Hi, I recently compiled x4.0.1 from source and all seemed to work well. I did
this to get better accel from my tnt2.
When I go to start E now I get:
"Xserver does not support Shape extension
Your server is out of date or misconfigured"
Has anyone seen this error before, and if so, do you kno
The xfree86 maintainer's website [1] clearly states why
no debs are available, when they will get available and for whom
they are made available in the first instance.
kind regards,
Markus
