Re: Compiling X

2000-03-08 Thread Ron Rademaker
Why are you compiling X??
Do you know debian packages?
To my experience they work a lot easier then compiling yourself
Just download the .deb packages you need (or use apt, you want the newest
x but perhaps you don't want to upgrade your whole system to potato or
woody, in that case you should download) and install them using dpkg...

 I've recompilied X and turned off all SetUID flags I could find but
 nothing seems to work still. And I kinda want to get back into user shell
 (for one thing, I can not use netscape and xchat, I'd stay root if not
 those things). Any suggestions?

2000-03-08 Thread Andrei Ivanov
I need to use 3.3.6 b/c of my video card, and only 3.2.11 version is
avaibliel for slink that I use. I dont want to upgrade to potato right
now, until I can get a CD. I don't think I could install 3.3.6 from
potato b/c of the dependencies, unless I upgrade the systemam I wrong
on that?
