I feel your pain :). I too have a Permedia 2 card and am currently running S.u.S.E.'s Elsa_GLoria XFree86 bin. This works just fine with Debian 1.3 as it is a libc5 system. That creates a huge problem for people like you who run a libc6 system and people like me who want to upgrade to it. All we can do at this point is mail S.u.S.E. and request that they compile a few libc6 bins of their servers. For now, you can either go back to Debian 1.3 or you can just not run X and wait for S.u.S.E. to make libc6 bins available. Good luck with your system. .- Brian Weiss ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) http://www.got.net/~brian -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
