Re: Debain package for X-free86-4.2 or 4.3 ?
I'm running woody with X Version 4.2.1 from a set of 'official' woody cd's,
called [Debian GNU/Linux 3.0 r1 _Woody_ - Official i386 Binary-1].
There weren't too much dependency problems (that is, automatic upgrades of
other packages). A good overview of backports anyway is at

Perhaps you have a look at
/usr/share/doc/HOWTO/en-text/XWindow-U-HOWTO, to start with...
i thinks most things said about 4.1. apply to 4.2 as well.
For details and further links,

is a good site.
