This is probably the problem with 2.4 and no font server running. If
you check the log output, I bet the last message is probing the mouse.
Try commenting out the font server from XF86Config-4, or
alternatively (which I haven't tested), run a local font server before
you start X.

Giuliano, I posted much the same question as your #1 yesterday, and
someone had posted a response to my question shortly after I asked.
Check the debian-x archives for their response. :)
Regarding xf86cfg, this is to be expected. It is not nearly ready to be
called a production tool. You can use

a much simpler test than working out proper grep semantics is the following:

Make what standard? glide?

Hi Branden,
can you please add these patches for your next version. It seems they are
all that is needed to get X4.0 built on m68k. If my machine hadn't crashed
three times in a row during the install target, I might have tested them
already. Anyhow, the patches shouldn't do any harm to non-m68k bu

Christian, I get that quite often. I just open up the control center
(gnomecc from an xterm) and specify sawfish. I sometimes make a new
listing for sawfish (sometimes that builtin option doesn't work).

Hello,
For some reason, my machine hangs solidly when I run xmms - I have a
TNT2-M64, and am using XFree4.0.1 from woody. (Not nvidia drivers, they
do not work at this point.)
What can it be that xmms does that hangs my system? Any tips as to what
else to test will be greatly appreciated.
Note:
Seth,
I ran into this problem. As a workaround,I linked /usr/X11R/bin/X to that
one specified in the error message. Then, I edited /etc/X11/Xserver to be
"Anybody" instead of "console." This is grossly insecure. Has anyone else
have this problem?
