I have just upgraded from Stable to Testing on my PowerMac 9500/150. I have a couple of problems that I would like to solicit some advice on. I am still a relative newbie to Linux, and would like some direction on the following:
First, I get the following messages when attempting to begin a session on the console or via Telnet. Secure shell sessions do not produce these messages. The messages are as follows: configuration error - unknown item 'FAIL_DELAY' (notify administrator) configuration error - unknown item 'QUOTAS_ENAB' (notify administrator) configuration error - unknown item 'NOLOGIN_STR' (notify administrator) configuration error - unknown item 'ENV_HZ' (notify administrator) configuration error - unknown item 'PASS_MAX_LEN' (notify administrator) configuration error - unknown item 'CHFN_AUTH' (notify administrator) configuration error - unknown item 'CLOSE_SESSIONS' (notify administrator) Anybody have any idea what all of this stuff is about? Or where I need to go to fix it? Second, migrating from Stable to Testing means a migration from Xfree to Xorg. Xfree used to work perfectly with Debian Stable, but Xorg and Testing produce rather undesireable effects. Most notably, the X session only displays on the left half of the screen. Everything is readable and usable, but the colors are a little off, and the display appears somewhat squished. I am using a 2.6.8 kernel. My video card is an older ATI Mach 64 PCI card, and I'm just using an old Apple monitor with a fixed resolution of 640 x 480. I've tried a dpkg-reconfigure of Xorg, and have tried both the kernel framebuffer and the ATI drivers. Both produce identical effects. I'm totally new to Testing, Xorg, and distribution upgrades. I did the upgrade by changing APT sources.list to testing and doing the apt-get dist-upgrade voodoo thing. Any and all help, guidance, and/or suggestions will be greatly welcome and appreciated. Thanks. -- If I don't think sex is fun, you're not doing it right. If you're not doing it right, sex isn't fun. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
