ok it has been a very long time since I have written here, however I
have been following a few threads, so first let me say this to Sven.

seemed major, s
Specifically to Sven I was wondering if anyone was still having trouble
compiling the MOL module in Etch. It took trial and error for me all
day, (and about twelve different HowTo's) but I finally got the modules
done. The reason I ask Sven is because I read your name on one of the

wondering if this was an acceptable practice.

First I would consider using the xorg packages provided on the
(debian-desktop website?) net for sid. It works just as well for sarge.
(or so I'm told) Personally it worked faster for me than xfree did. Also
I don't know how the other genius's on this list did it, but I never got
x to work before I ran into ubuntu. And took some advice that I was
given a long time ago on this list, and in turn gave that to someone
else a couple months ago, and in both cases it worked.
Get the Hoary LiveCD, if you don't have it. Start up from it, and if x
starts up tyhen copy the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file to your /etc/X11
directory on your physical HD. when you restart into debian, if you
still want to use xfree86 then rename that to XF86Config-4 (or whatever
it's supposed to be) and edit it with nano. somewhere inside there is an
option to use xorg rules or something, and that needs to be changed to
xfree86 instead of xorg.
If you indeed do decide to try the xorg packages I am pretty sure that
they are on the debian-desktop.org website, but you should be able to
find them with google as I did. Also if you spend about ten minutes
looking and not finding and get bored, like I did, go to planet debian,
and they have a link to somekind of unofficial apt repository that has a
package search feature, just look for xorg, and set every other thing
right, for debian, ppc, etc. Doing this you will have to get the ones
that you have xfree86 installed for, and get the xorg alternates, and
follow the dependencies with dpkg, the first choice is by far the least
work.
Hope this helps!
