Jens, I know just the right guy to do this...our soon to be departed
project leader. Didn't he mention doing something similar as part of
his life-after-project-leader? Something about taking service calls and
stripping out company details, then providing that back to the Debian
community.
How about joe? Don't know anything about Norton Editor, but I've heard
some oldtimers say joe is like Wordstar was. Does that ring any bells?
Joe seems to me to be somewhat like pico, but with more features (?).

Don't know about KDE, but.
I believe an appropriate entry in /etc/rc5.d is where the debian package

package postinstall asks you if you'd like to log directly into xdm. It's
a symbolic link to /etc/init.d/xdm.
Don't know about your card, but Accelerated X has been working well for
me since v1.2. I wouldn't say I've ever stressed it either, but its done
well for me on cards which weren't well supported under XFree86.

Since Debian maintainers are being faced with this dilemma across the

It does support your card/chipset and you can download a demo before

You didn't say (and I can't figure out from your error messages) whether
or not you are using AcceleratedX. If so, you need to go into all of
your font directories and gunzip the fonts, then ncompress them if you
have it, then do the mkfontdir step. AcceleratedX can't do gzipped
fonts, but

You may want to consider just arbitrarily splitting the list into (say)

may go down 1/2 or more (approaching 2/3 asymptotically :-)).

They were previously compressed (*.Z). Now the XFree group uses the gnu
compression tool (gzip/*.gz). The compress algorithm has some
copyright/distribution problems--gzip doesn't. The choice is made by the
XFree foundation, not debian, though it makes better sense for debian, too.
Yes this
Guys, I've seen the answer to this recently. Don't know how current the
archive is--so you may not be able to search it for the exact answer.
AccelX can't do compressed fonts (.gz I think). XFree has apparently
decided to start compressing them. There is a workaround and it
