Let me guess, you have a Infomagic Linux Developers Resource 6 cd set? It contains debian 1.2 aka rex, while debian 1.3 has just been released. 1.2 had some bugs in the installation of x (and some other bugs.) 1.2.x, x>6 had these all fixed I believe. > I followed the recent recommendations and > installed in order: xbase, xfnt75,xserver-vga16,xserver-svga. XF86Setup Uhmm, those were recommendations for 1.3 actually. 1.2 had different problems, some of which could not be resolved by a particular order of packages installation. > Any ideas what package I may be missing or other config error? There are some descriptions around of how to install a perfectly good system from a 1.2 Infomagic cd and there is at least one available on the web at http://ece.wpi.edu/~rulnick/GlinuX/debian-1.2-faq.html Another one can be found in the lists' archive. Look for a message from Zenon Fortuna dated 7 januari 1997 in the debian user archive (follow the documentation link on www.debian.org.) Basically, it requires some additional handwork to fix some small errors in install scripts, but it is pretty well documented and not hard at all. IIRC the biggest problem with x was that a line /usr/X11/lib wasn't added to /etc/ld.conf. If you add it and run ldconfig (as root ofcourse) x should work a lot better already. Good luck with the installation, Cheers, Joost -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] . Trouble? e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
