Good afternoon. I've spent most of my day working at this interesting
problem I am having. I upgraded earlier today only to notice that xf4
was replacing xf3.3.6. I had found bad experiences with this software
before and chose to continue use of 3.3.6. I notified others of my
problem and recieved information about installing the old xserver while
basically still using the new base. This idea seems brilliant except
for the fact that I was alarmed when I found that xserver-mach64 no
longer exists. I can't grab one from an old dist as the dependencies
are fucked up from those ones. Also, once I felt cornered, I tried
using xf4, but it couldn't get a screen to work. None of the
combinations seemed to work, I tried forever and it just kept spitting
out that 'no screens found' after it found none of them to be useable.
Now, I can't go back to the old xserver or use the new one. I do not
have money to seek professional help in this situation and I do not have
enough money to buy a different video card. I use this machine for work
and it is all I have. Please see if you can help, I wasted an entire
day with no pay now trying to upgrade and running into perl and x
problems now. I can't afford another day like this one. Please, any
help is greatly appreciated. You are my last resort.
Time is precious,
Bill Darrow
