[If I just sent out a blank email, sorry. Anyway...]
OK, so I've installed X but when I run startx I get this mess:
System: '/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb/xkbcomp -w 1 -R/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb -xkm
-m us -em1 "The XKEYBOARD keymap compiler (xkbcomp) reports:" -emp "> " -eml
"Errors from xkbcomp are not fatal to the X server" keymap/xfree86
compiled/xfree86.xkm' Warning: /dev/psaux unable to get status of mouse fd
(Inappropriate ioctl for device)
Fatal server error:
could not open default font 'fixed'
yadda yadda yadda. Anyway, I tried looking this error up on Google. Seems
that someone else
(http://lists.openresources.com/Debian/debian-user/msg00295.html) had a
similar problem over a year ago. However, in that case the fixed.pcf.gz file
actually existed. It does not exist on my computer and it seems that it is
what X is looking for. It's a Debian potato system, I used apt-get to
install XFree3.3.6. Anyone know where I could get that file or where I can
go to find out more? The documentation on xfree86.org didn't seem to cover
this problem. Thanks.

Well going by http://www.xfree86.org/4.0/Status.html the G400 is supposed
to be supported under the mga driver, but supported and actually getting
it to work the way you would like is usually two different things.
