Since the release of Lenny, I have installed arround 60 Workstaions, but
making tararchives of the original installation and reinstalled Lenny
from scratch, using the first binary DVD and the rest over Net.
Nearly 80% of all Workstations do not work properly.
The half of them is without sound (all Creative LABS)
00:13.0 Multimedia audio controller: Creative Labs SB Live! EMU10k1 (rev 0a)
00:13.1 Input device controller: Creative Labs SB Live! Game Port (rev 0a)
which is needed for telephony. Then I have a couple of Dual-Screen
Workstations with the above card...
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Matrox Graphics, Inc. MGA G400/G450 (rev 82)
xserver-xor-video-mga does not work... Now I use the framebuffer which
is working nicely but I do not know the performance differnce between
"mga" and 2fbdev".
While Fvwm was working fine under Sarge and Etch, no it stoped working
correctly. The first time afte 7 years.
Maybe there is a new config option, but curently I have flying windows
arround, I mean, news windows are placed in non-expected places. I want
my message boxes ans such back in the center if I do not use explicit
geometry. But it is going more strange, because my own GTK2+ application
are placed correctly like the OpenOffice ones...
I have set EWMH to reserve space for my FvwmButton (Panel) and the
FvwmTaskbar but they are now ignored...
While reading the huge manpages, nothing has changed...

I was thinking this too, and have tared the broken installation like the
Etch and Sarge ones and reinstalled the WHOLE thing from scratch.
The error persists.
This is WHY I run under "ulimit -c unlimited" to get this pigs with the
disavantage, that I get the absoulut MEGA coredumps over my NFVv4 since
${HOME} is in my Intranet Server.
If I get a usefull coredump, I will try to put it on my USB key and
upload it in the Internet Caffee onto my server.
