The potato xfree86 4.0.1 packages are apt-able with the following lines:
deb http://people.debian.org/%7Ecpbotha/ xf401_potato/i386/
deb http://people.debian.org/%7Ecpbotha/ xf401_potato/all/

I don't track him that quickly... on average I build every 2nd or 3d release
that he makes. I'm planning a potato build of 4.0.1-11 as soon as that's in
woody for a day or two. The ones that are apt-able at the moment are -8,
and I find them rock-solid on my hardware. You can also find the howto on
this at http://cpbotha.net/building_woody_xfree86_4.0.1_debs_on_potato.HOWTO
