Thanks for the input.
I think your right about the libraries. It all started when I was trying to
install the Opera browsers which apparently doesn't have a well built .deb.
Anyway, dselect is now asking me if I want to download an additional 107MB
of upgraded files. And little old me with my dial-up connection? Uh no
thanks.
The system works fine otherwise though. I'll try stracing though at this
point even if I have no idea what you're talking about :)
... Passage of time ....
There, I did "strace XF86Setup" as root and I got this on the last four
lines:
read(4, "c)\n\nName S3 86C280 (generic)\nSEE"...,4096) = 4096
brk(0x80a6000) = 0x80a6000
--- SIGSEV (Segmantation fault) ---
+++ killed by SIGSEV +++
Does that make any sense?
BTW I did "man strace"
