Hi,
I just wanted to give Debian a try, and I got Network Computing CD
and managed to get it installed properly. Now the Problems:
The X server: did xf86config and I was able to run only the
vga16 server which has very poor color depth and resolution. If I select
SVGA, startx fails saying can't start SVGA. At present I am using
RHL6.2, and everything is fine in it. My video hardware is : i810
chipset, Samtron 45Bn Monitor. (I did install the i810,agpgart modules
during installation properly(lsmod shows them in)).
usr/src/ : the /usr/src/ directory doesn't contain anything at
all, and
my alsa-driver compilation exited saying something is missing in that
directory. Is it okay if I copy my RedHat /usr/src/linux directory into
debian's /usr/src?
At present I am using RHL6.2 for three months now, and have managed
to get what I want from My computer through Linux - the GUI, Sound,
Internet+Browsing+Mail, Java programming, etc. I am tremendously
satisfied with Linux, but am inclined to depend solely on Debian. If you
are using Debian, Please help me out.
Thanks in advance, and sorry for this long mail,
Regards,
V Suresh.
