Come on, just asking questions about it ...
btw, just found out that xf4 mesa is incompatible with potato and current
woody wine (fix on the way for woody it seems though ...)

Well, but the name suggest that ggi will only run with the mesa+ggi version,
and not the mesa alone version. so will ggi run with the xfree version
installed Or will you not be able to run ggi with XF4 installed.
But then this surely is a ggi issue more than a XF issue.

Huh sorry, ...
just wanted to tell you about what my experience in the past few month with
XF4 + debian has shown me, and i thought also that discution about a topic is
in a way contributing also, or are not that what the debian mailign list are
all about ?
And please, don't take it bad, i just told you that, because i thought of it,
and i thought that you, the all mighty Xfree maintainer could maybe benefit
from it ?
(BTW, XF4 will not run with matroxfb on my work box, so i reverted to 3.3.6)
Friendly,
Sven LUTHER
