[FIXED] ZGV crash
I finally got zgv working, I had to edit the /etc/vga/vgalib.config file to increase my monitors horizontal and vertical rates, commented out the section for the mach32 setting, and forced it to detect my card as VGA (was detecting it as TVGA which my card isn't, htough it is a Trident) G'razel the shifty-kitty [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.aye.net/~kestrel FurryMUCK Tapestries To err is human, To purr feline. -- Robert Byrne -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

[Q] libdb.so.1, runq, and setup signature
I recently had to reinstall Debian (had done something I later found out I shouldn't have done). With the new installation using stable non-free and contrib but my previous kernel image (saved some of the most important stuff) every time I try to do a man command i get the following: man: can't open cache '/etc/ld.so.cache' man: can't load library 'libdb.so.1' and during bootup (I use Lilo since I have win95 on my machine still) I get: no setup signature found also I've been getting messages from cron about runq and 'unable to run /bin/sh permission denied' any help would be appreciated G'razel the shifty kitty ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) http://www.aye.net/~kestrel found on Tapestries FurryMUCK FluffMUCK Furcadia -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
