thanks for reading.
just installed debian etch xfce using text expert install ...perhaps a bad choice...migrating from *buntu installs - too bloated and much slower in my opinion.
all seems well ,lighting fast, however...
1. added testing repositories:
deb
http://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian testing main contrib non-free
deb-src
http://ftp.debian.org/debian testing main contrib non-free
..and upgraded:
xserver to 1:7.2-5
xorg to 1:7.2-5
xfce to 4.4.2.1
Some of my icons and themes dont appear to work - e.g. Aurora: the widgets/controls are not drawn correctly, they just look "plain".
Also, "X -version" reports:
Code:
X Window System Version 1.3.0
Release Date: 19 April 2007
X Protocol Version 11, Revision 0, Release 1.3
Build Operating System: Linux Debian (xorg-server 2:1.3.0.0.dfsg-12)

Before reporting problems, check http://wiki.x.org
to make sure that you have the latest version.
Module Loader present
What is the relationship between 1.3.0 and 1:7.2-5 in synaptic?
My fonts in iceweasel are terrible although the rest of apps are antialiased fine (using a TFT display!)
Finally, where has the "Enable Composite" gone from the Window Tweaks?
uname -a
Code:
Linux desktop 2.6.18-6-amd64 #1 SMP Sun Feb 10 17:50:19 UTC 2008 x86_64 GNU/Linux
Apart from that, its bloody dang good distro and I'm here to stay
How do I include Xorg.0.log and xorg.conf? I couldnt see how to attach them here and my attempt to include the 000s of lines was rejected :-(
Oh, and last but not least..
"HI"!!!
help with the above much appreciated.
