I had a machine lock up on me last night - it would not respond to the

If you're using woody, you're not going to get DRI to work until
libglide3 gets moved into testing from sid. Glide3 is a necessary
component of acceleration in X4.
As to your list of packages, I think that 'glide-v5' is for Voodoo5
cards, not Voodoo3.

As I understand it, security.debian.org is still useful if you're
running testing, since someone running testing still has some packages
from potato. Unstable gets security fixes simply from regular upgrades
while those using testing would normally have to wait for the packages
to stabalize before

Woody is testing, which is not all that unstable at all. Really, I've

Ok, I think I may have it fixed. I changed

Look in /etc/apache/srm.conf for

I think it's commented out by default. Just uncomment it, and change your

This is just a shot in the dark, but do you happen to have your mouse set to

As I remember licq doesn't save its settings automatically. Look around in the
menu for a 'Save Settings' or something similar (sorry, it's been a little
while since I've used it, so I don't know the exact name) - if you do that
after turning off sounds, it should stay that way.

It was my understanding that you didn't need device3dfx at all when running X4.
I thought tdfx replaced it's functionality.

I was successful just downloading the oss emu10k1 source from

AFAIK, it's exactly the same. The problem is that the stock 2.2.17 kernel
included with potato doesn't have it; why, I don't know. Rather than re
Well, one way I guess the creative drivers could be different is that fact that
there are always daily builds at opensource.creative.com, so if there are any
recent changes, they would be there first.

You might also want to check out Iomega.com. They actually have a small linux
utility that offers *some* of the functions of IomegaTools. I haven't used it
in awhile, so I don't remember if it was particularly useful, but the download

Just replace 'potato' or 'stable' with 'testing' or 'woody'. I'm updating
right now, so hopefully all just work as planned.

I'll also add that /dev/3dfx (for me at least) garbles the screen after running
any OpenGL or Glide app. It doesn't really crash out on you, you just need to

Stupid Question:
I'm used to other distros having a 'play' command to play sounds from the
command line. Does Debian have a similar tool, or am I just missing the
package with the play command?

Xfree86 4.x isn't included in the testing tree yet. The way I understand it,
it will be added eventually. I *think* that woody is now the same as the
testing tree, but the less stable packages in woody got bumped into the new
unstable. People who were running woody before the testing tree came a

Ok, my setup is similar to yours, so maybe my rewrite rules will help. My

I think the problem here is gpm being unconfigured, rather than X and it not

Like ktb said, you need to stop gpm before you'll be able to use the mouse in
