X 4.0.1 what's the deal?
what is the state of X 4.0.1? when I ran aptitude today (fri night) it
wanted to upgrade the packages in kinda strange way.
why are tasks related to X held back?
why is xserver-svga updated to newer 3.3.6 version while most of other
X 3.3.6 packages are relaced by 4.0.1 version?
is xserver-common new server? do I have to download something else to
get 3dfx voodoo III support?
is the format of the configuration file changed?
overall, where to find out how to upgrade 3.3.6 to 4.0.1? I am kinda
afraid that simple dist-upgrade is not enough in this case...
is the X 4.0.1 in process of being updated and is it better to wait
for some time till it gets completed? or?
TIA
