OK - thanks. This just takes me to section 5.14 - default editor...I know you're trying but that doesn't help much ;)

It seems the bits of documentation I can find on the debian site don't match up with etch. I cannot undertsand that and will not comment.

I'm not transitioning - install from scratch on an old machine.

The best I can do to determine my (PCI) card is read what's on the card/chip which says:

MATROX - MGA 1164SG-A I tried dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg, which asked lots opf questions many of which bore no semblance of what xf86config used to ask. In particular something about a PCI Bus ID... ????

I took the defaults when prompted as I knew not what else to put. xf86config in woody/sarge worked fine with this card - I know its old but c'mon...even shitty windows can provide a driver for it.

/var/log/Xorg.0.log output as follows:

X Window System Version 7.1.1

Hi all,

I have a problem with an old desktop running etch. Before it was running XP + etch dual boot. But recently I have deleted the whole XP  partition. Now the problem is I started running out of space for the etch. I want to resize the partition so that I can install more programs and stuff like that. The current partition is like

hda1 - 5G (before running XP)
hda2 - 1G ( etch is living here)

So I'd like to resize hda2 but I can't as it said I need to unmount hda2 before resizing. People suggest using a live CD but it's not possible with my old laptop (I didn't even install etch using CD, I can only install etch via goodbyemicrosoft.com). USB boot is also not available.

Any suggestion would be welcome. What I want to do is to be able to apt-get upgrade stuff as right now I have only <5Mb of space in hda2.

Thanks a lot!

Don't know where to look next?X

Linux-patch-rt and rtirq are not in the normal Debian respository, but they are here:

You might want to try the gparted live CD (http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php). Boot from it and resize partitions on the fly.

Good Luck.

(ac adapter off-line) 2 - Why the laptop doesn't hibernate when the ac adapter is on-line now ? Thanks

If you google for "intex ethernet card linux" then you find a number of complaints, stating that this card does not actually use the Realtek 8139 chipset. It seems to be a cheap knock-off chipset from Silan Microelectronics; the confusing model number has almost certainly been chosen on purpose. The people in this discussion thread http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/showthread.php?t=441115 conclude that you need the "sc92031" driver for Intex NICs. This module came into the mainline kernel at version 2.6.21, while Etch has 2.6.18. (I can only confirm that the 2.6.22 version of sc92031.c has the text "Rsltek 8139D PCI Fast Ethernet Adapter driver" in the source code.) The best procedure for someone who is relatively new to Linux and Debian might be to download one of Kenshi Muto's custom Etch installer images, because they have the 2.6.21 kernel.

I've been stumped before trying to configure X on an old sarge system. What solved my problem when all else failed was.... to load knoppix, then extract the needed info from knoppix's X config file. Ugly, but effective. Regards, Ralph End of debian-user-digest Digest V2007 Issue #2518 ************************************************** Received on Sun Sep 30 17:15:25 2007
