Those of you who have considered hacking into the SLUG mail server and black listing my e-mail will beglad to know that I have finally got Xfree86 4.2 installed. (Mary, James, Jamie, Rob,Greeno, Steve and all the others who have endured my e-mail bombardment reach with shaky hands for their sctoch glasses, blinking in disbelief..... "could it really be over?". Of Course not! That was just the first part. cue: the survivors drain scotch glassse and think about setting up a "I was exposed to mick boda" help group....)
I have a few more questions, then probably a half dozen more after that, but ....
1. Is there an Xconfigurator type command to generate a new XF86Config-4 file?
2. I have a Radeon 7500VE, should the device driver be "ati" or "radeon" (if it should be radeon, it ain't listed in 4.2)
3. I tried jamie's link to gnome downloads. I tried
"deb http://ftp.acc.umu.se/mirror/mirrors.evilgeniuses.org.uk/debian/ backports/woody gnome2.2" I recieved a 404 error. I tried a few combos, adding space ./ at the end, removing http:// and just using ftp://, didn't try ftp://ftp, ..... correct me if I'm worng (maybe I should have just put correct me ... thre wrong is usually a given) ftp and http are two different ways of downloading so you can't mix them?
Again, Thanks for all the help so far. You've been great.
Regards
Mick
