All you had to do in aptitude was install it. # aptitude install xorg-video-abi-12 If nothing else that would tell you what the problem was and give you a chance to solve it. Did you explore why it didn't want to install it automatically? One of the reasons I love open source is that it gives me choice. I don't like Synaptic. Fine, I don't have to use Synaptic. You don't like Aptitude. Fine, you don't have to use Aptitude. Lisi -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
