Right, my 8500 on Athlon requires X 4.2.1.  The apt line for i386 is:

   deb http://people.debian.org/~blade/woody/i386/ ./

and you should be able to get sources from somewhere in there that will 
build on alpha.

[To do that, once you have the orig.tar.gz, the .diff.gz and the .dsc, 
and have installed the fakeroot package:

   dpkg-source -x file.dsc [e.g. foo_1.2.3-4.dsc]
   cd dir-version [e.g. foo-1.2.3]
   dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -us -uc

I prefer this to "fakeroot debian/rules binary" because it tests for 
build-depends and lets you know what's missing.]

Zeen,
