Hey Javier,

Thanks for replying! I tried installing x11-apps (for 'xeyer') and xterm but
get the same 'segmentation fault, dpkg: error processing x11-common
(--configure)' in both cases:

-------------------------
It is possible that my machine is lacking some basic files, even though I
have performed an update/upgrade.

Can someone provide pointers as to why I am unable to install any software
on my PVM?

As far as 3d OpenGL animation is concerned, I would prefer something like
'glxgears' but its not important. Thanks you for all your suggestions. Once
I am able to install software on my PVM, I will test with all of them and
see what works best.

Thanks again!
