Subject: X 4, Debian -> woes
I just decided to point apt sources to woody (thought
I would give woody a shot). Was anxious to try out
mysql 3.23, and was having problems with nfs and a 2.4
kernel, so I thought woody would be the ticket.

Anyway, X doesn't work. Broke. I went to 4 from 3
and my voodoo card chokes on the old file (XF86Config).
The new XF86Config-4 gives me an error
"can't open default font fixed"

This error is when I choose a 'vga' driver for my device,
as anything else wil not load.

I'm not a die-hard X guy, so sweat is not rolling down
my cheeks or anything, but I sure would like to fire
X up again soon (use Lyx extensively).

I have a 2.4.0 kernel, XFree 4, and a
Voodoo 3 2000 card if that helps anyone.
