All you really need is the latest SVGA server binary. ftp://ftp.xfree86.org/pub/XFree86/current/binaries/Linux-ix86-glibc/Servers/XSVGA.tgz Just stick the contents of that into /usr/X11R6/bin/XF86_SVGA in place of what's there now. The Debian package system is great, but don't let it ruin your fun.
Linux/IrDA for Debian
Hi, there is a new Debian package by NOKUBI Takatsugu availabe at http://www.daionet.gr.jp/~knok/debian , which provides the according tools for infrared (IrDA) support. The package is based on libc2.1 and needs an according kernel. I suggest >= 2.3.14 , but couldn't check the package by myself. For further information on Linux/IrDA see http://www.cs.uit.no/linux-irda/ or my IR-HOWTO http://www.snafu.de/~wehe/index_li.html (though maybe slightly outdated). Cheers :-> werner
Multiple Network Configs
Anyone had good luck getting a laptop running Debian to run in various Ethernet and dial-up environments? Currently my laptop works wonderfully at home, but the office network uses DHCP (and home does not), as well as I'd like to be able to dial into the home network when I'm on the road. I messed around with a package that claimed to make this easier, but it was a little beyond me as to what it was doing to my PCMCIA setup and I never did get it working the way I wanted to. Is there a "killer app" for doing this type of thing out there? +---++ | Nate Duehr - [EMAIL PROTECTED]| Support Amateur Radio & Linux! | | Private Pilot, Telephony Engineer | Ham Callsign: N0NTZ | | UNIX Hack, Perl Hack, Tech-Freak | Grid Square: DM79 | | | "May the Source be with you." | +---++ | HamRadio and Linux mailing lists available for interested parties: | |http://www.natetech.com/mailman/listinfo| ++
