Help. <pop>. I wasn't sure which list to send this to, since this is a user question, but from what I understand, woody is a debian-devel issue. Hopefully no one kills me for posting to both :)
I have potato installed on my machine. When I upgraded to woody I got gross problems. First, as I understand it, I did the correct upgrade steps. - modified sources.list to reflect that I want woody stuff now. - apt-get update - apt-get dist-upgrade I get errors concerning talkd and libpaperg (I'm pretty sure that's what the second one was called, it deals with paper sizes as I understand it) That was no problem, I don't use talk anyways, so I removed it. The big problem is that my X won't work! Whenever I try to run it, I now get an error saying something like unable to stat file /etc/X11/X. I poked around google and so far from what I've seen, /etc/X11/X should be a symlink to /usr/X11R6/bin/XF86_SVGA. Also the file /etc/X11/Xserver should contain the lines /usr/bin/X11/XF86_SVGA and console. What's everyone's thought on this. Also, why didn't the upgrade set this up automatically? I would think when it replaced the old version of X it would have done it. One last question, why did they take XF86Setup away. I always had problems with XF86Config, but not with XF86Setup. If worse comes to worse I guess I'll have to learn the art of XF86Config files (it never works after running the Config program). Thanks a lot. -- Patrick Mauro [EMAIL PROTECTED]
