I recently installed a copy of Debian Linux I acquired through a subscription to Boot Magazine and I'm havig trouble getting X configured.
I've been getting some help from a guy on the linux user's group tells me that it is because /usr/X11R6/bin/X is linked to the wrong server, I have an S3 ViRGE chipset, but for whatever reason X is trying to use the S3 generic server, I tried re-running XF86Setup, but it doesn't update the links, this is what he said: "Debian does some weird security thing with X. They don't have a symbolic link to the server like everybody else does. I'm not sure how to set things up. Anyhow, make sure you have XF86_S3V in /usr/bin/X11 for starters. I guess as a kludge to get it working in the event that you don't figure out the correct way to get debian to use the XF86_S3V server you can just rename the XF86_S3V server to XF86_S3 or create a symbolic link from XF86_S3 to XF86_S3V (ln -s XF86_S3V XF86_S3)." do you have a better way? any help would be appreciated.
