Hi,
I noticed the same problem when I installed my first Alpha. I took the hamm
cd. Untarred the source of xfree86_3.3.2.2-4 and compiled for about an hour.
Then installed it and running it since. It crashed on me some times but it
works OK.
BTW: I hope you have a good connection or (like me) a source cd. The source
is about 22Mb so it's no fun downloading with an 33k6 (which is connected to
my computer :).
HTH.
Bart
NB: You need a tcl-dev, tk-dev, zlibg-dev installed to compile the source.
Otherwise try to 'make install.man DESTDIR=/..../debian/xtree' untill all
works. Then ./debian/rules binary-arch (at least it worked for me).
