I've been able to do it several times and always went alright. Of course, I used xf86config (it's in the xclients package). The only time I had problems was on an Intel 810 mainboard, with integrated graphics. Debian 2.2 (which bundled XFree86 3.3.6) didn't support that graphics card out-of-the-box, but you only had to install the kernel sources package, download the driver from Intel and use alien to convert the two RPMs to DEB. The you compiled one of the packages (the agpgart.o module) and installed the other package. It was all. And there was an easier way: simply downloading the XFree 4.1.0 backport to potato would have done (XFree 4.x has an Intel 810 driver out-of-the-box). So, for me, setting the X server up on Debian was easy. Which graphics card do you have? Maybe if you'd say we could help... *********** REPLY SEPARATOR *********** On 21/08/2003 at 18:11 Mr. Baldwin wrote: >I'm new to this list, so this may have been posted already, I dunno. >But, how about setting up the xserver on a debian install? >I've tried three times with different hardware configuratinos and have not >successfully done this, yet, once. > >AArrggh! > >tony b > > >____________________________________________________________ >Get advanced SPAM filtering on Webmail or POP Mail ...
