starts to replace .dll's from a command.com shell which seems to be
similar to what ou did to your system ...
you could try to reinstall every xserver-xorg related package (search in
synaptic for installed packages with that sting in the name) to
overwrite what you copied over ... but that will take a lot of time and
not guarantee that you dont have any cruft of these tarballs left in the
end so that i guess a reinstall might be the easier and way less time
consumng solution ...

hey oli
i cant log into the desktop then how will i access the synaptic manager, the
problem if i do a reinstall is that i will loose all my earlier settings. it
took almost a week to configure many things on my desktop so that it would
be compatible for many of the things that i need to work with. is there any
way at all to roll back the changes made
donny
It looks like you installed it from one of their stupid binary
packages. I would suggest getting the sources, and deinstalling X;
these instructions should give you a basic outline:
~ $ wget ftp://ftp.xfree86.org/pub/XFree86/4.7.0/source/XFree86-4.7.0-src-1.tgz
~ $ tar zxf XFree86-4.7.0-src-1.tgz
~ $ cd xc
~/xc $ ./configure
- snip -
/xc $ sudo make uninstall
or
$ sudo make deinstall
depending on which the XF86 people chose to use. This will try to
clear out all the files that XF86 installed.
then
$ sudo aptitude -f purge xorg xorg-libs
$ sudo aptitude install xorg xorg-libs
This is a last-ditch attempt, and is pretty crude. It probably won't
work, and will certainly screw some things up. All it _might_ do is at
least get X working again, so you can back up your stuff if you're
uncomfortable with the terminal.
Good luck
Chris
