Re: xconfigurator or something



Well, wouldn't using X 4 kinda screw with the dependencies in the package
tree? Like, wouldn't apt try to install over some stuff later thinking I
don't have X or I don't have the most up to date X?

Anyone out there with a Matrox Millenium II wanna help me out with an
XF86Config? 

Thanks.
