Re: gdm problem - no sessions

2004-04-02 Thread Marcel Gschwandl
The Problem is that /etc/gdm/Sessions/* aren't read anymore, from now on sessionfiles should go into /etc/dm/Sessions/ (but as far as I can see part of them go into /usr/share/xsessions/. At least gnome.desktop did) So you'll have to wait untill all Packages, providing some sessionfile, got updated

hi, this is a known "bug", as of version 2.4.4.7, changed the format of the session files (I believe to the same as kdm uses) and now the old ones are not recogniced any more. now you have two (three) possibilities: 1. Downgrade gdm. 2. wait till all packages which provide sessionfiles are updat

I don't know if it is possible to tell Debian not to use APM at all. But at least you can run dselect after you ran tasksel and then "unselect" the apmd package. And you can add a line to /etc/lilo.conf: append="apm=off". You can add this line somewhere on the top of the file, so it applies to all

It works. Thanks to all. Your (Mattia's) suggestion with the Intel PIIXn chipset was correct. But now I think the name and the description of this driver isn't very good. There are only things telling about PIO modes and nothing about DMA or supported chipsets (like ICH3M in my case). Thanks anyw
