You're running a 3.x server on top of a 4.x installation. How you managed to do this, I don't know. Let's fix it and then tackle Quake. Since you're running the Mach64 server, you'll get better performance switching to a 4.x server. To do this, remove the XFree86-server-common-3.3.6-28mdk and XFree86-Mach64-3.3.6-28mdk packages. Force it if needs be. Then make sure that /etc/X11/X is a symlink to the executable /usr/X11R6/bin/XFree86, and that /usr/X11R6/bin/X is a symlink to /usr/X11R6/bin/Xwrapper. At this point, try running just "X" from a command line (make sure another X server isn't already running). Whether it gives you a generic X screen (black/white stipple with X cursor) or not, make sure that the output indicates it's a 4.2.1 server. Now you'll need to make a new configuration file. Run "X -configure". This will generate a generic configuration file called XF86Config.new in your HOME directory. Copy this to /etc/X11/XF86Config (or it might be /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 -- look in /var/log/XFree86.0.log to see where it looked for the config file -- it will be on a line starting "Using config file:") If everything went fine, you'll be back to having an X configuration using a 4.2.1 server instead of a 3.x server. If at any time things go wrong, send us the output and a copy of your /var/log/XFree86.0.log file. -- Soren Harward [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ newbies mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://phantom.byu.edu/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/newbies
