I do not have access to an unstable Alpha box so I cannot build the latest XFree86 for it. Hopefully one of the Alpha folks will be able to address this issue for you. Hopefully xfree86-1 can be added to the Alpha auto-build list (I guess they use buildd). If there are problems with compiling XFree86 on the Alpha I'd like to hear about them (unless they are source dependency issues, see debian/README.source-depends in the source package). People on the Alpha list: I do not subscribe to this list so please CC any replies to me if you want me to see them. -- G.
