Afternoon sluggers, A couple of weeks ago I did an apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade on my deb sid installation and X broke. I have silly nvidia closed source drivers. Hmmm... startx shows the nividia splash screen and total freeze of machine in that state. Hard reboot. Chaning /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 to use vesa or nv drivers resulted in a similar freeze (minus splash screen). So, first I tried re-installing nvidia badness. No effect. did an apt-get install <latest 2.4 kernel> leaving nvidia out of the picture, still freezes with nv or vesa. Have I done something totally daft? Is something broken in X in sid? Any thoughts welcomed... Hal -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
