Re: XFree 4.2.x question
I use sid and just apt-get dist-upgrade to Xfree 4.2.x My card is a Quadro2 MXR, when using the older version of XFree 4.x , it randomly crashes when switching screen. This problem hasn't happened eversince I get 4.2.x ... it has been solid for me. On Wed, 23 Oct 2002 12:01:02 -0400 "Justin F.

Don't if it was the specific problem, but I had random, frequent (once a day at least) keyboard & mouse lockups requiring a reboot starting soon after the XFree upgrade (via apt-get dist-upgrade). It was so frustrating I reinstalled testing. Before that, unstable would go for weeks without problems for me. Bob Scott -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

It's not the installation of X4.2.x that scares me, it'll all it's dependencies.. J -- Justin F. Knotzke [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.shampoo.ca msg07671/pgp0.pgp Description: PGP signature
Re: XFree 4.2.x question
Just one thing--back up /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 before you install 4.2. I've apt-gotten 2 revisions from unstable, and it overwrote my XF86Config both times. Pretty annoying. -- Nick This one time, at band camp, Ing. Vladimir M. Kerka said: > Me.I'm using it for some time and it's great. > The installation from .debs went very smoothly.

Re: XFree 4.2.x question
Me.I'm using it for some time and it's great. The installation from .debs went very smoothly. I recommend using .debs because of upgrades of packages. Vlada On Wed, 2002-10-23 at 18:01, Justin F.

XFree 4.2.x question
Hello, I see that XFree 4.2.1 has made it into unstable a few weeks ago. I am curious, has anyone tried to install it? How has that gone? Would you say it's better to install from the unstable .debs or manually using the XFree installer? Thanks J. -- Justin F.
