The problem is that X -configure and xf86cfg are both in pretty bad shape in stock 4.0.2.
For the time being, it is better to use the debconf interface to X server configuration that I wrote. [I have begun forwarding private mails I receive to debian-user, because it is poor practice to ask a package maintainer directly for help.] ----- Forwarded message from tom <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ----- From: tom <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: XFree4.0.2 upgrade problem Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> I don't know that this merits a "bug report" per se. But. I upgraded from 'stable' to 'testing' last night and X didn't fly. 'X -configure' & 'xf86cfg' both locked up the PC 'xf86configure' I was able to get through. I believe that the problem is in the declaration of the default XF86Config-4 file where the video card was picked up as 'apm'. Is there something more that I can do to provide information on this problem? I don't know if this is a Debian or an XFree problem BTW - I got it working great after I did the text based configuration. -- 9:09am up 25 days, 15:20, 2 users, load average: 0.00, 0.00, 0.00 XFree86 Version 4.0.2 / X Window System (protocol Version 11, revision 0, vendor release 6400) Release Date: 18 December 2000 If the server is older than 6-12 months, or if your card is newer than the above date, look for a newer version before reporting problems.
