Yes, but XF4.2 beta packages are working very well on a woody, i just
installed those on my friend's computer. I didn't had any problem. The
peoblem is XF4.2 is not in woody, which give the reputation to have
obsolete software... but in facts, XF4.1 is now multi-arch, and doesn't
have the PCI bugs found in XF4.2 for example, some friends who have
multiple video cards have problems with XF4.2 because of this bug. After
reading the paper from Branden explaining why XF4.2 was not going to be
in Woody, i knew why i had chosen debian : I have something right which
works good, even if i don't have the newest release. If i really need
it, i create the package myself.

What problems do you really have ? I'm running G2D from experimental
(upgraded manualy every night) on my debian unstable, with XF4.1, and so
on. I don't seem to have any problems with fonts and those kinds of
things. But maybe i'm wrong and didn't noticed them :)
