This is a sparc issue. Basically, you need to remove xserver-xfree86, and keep xserver-mach64. Make sure that /etc/X11/X is a symlink to /usr/X11R6/bin/XF86_Mach64 That should keep the old mach64 server running well. Also, you may want to check to see that you have the latest potato version of xserver-mach64. -- -----------=======-=-======-=========-----------=====------------=-=------ / Ben Collins -- ...on that fantastic voyage... -- Debian GNU/Linux \ ` [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] ' `---=========------=======-------------=-=-----=-===-======-------=--=---'
