Ah, yes, I now do (with sources.listing pointing to unstable for sources)
apt-get source --compile xserver-xfree86
which seems to be the right thing. Now I find out which tools X needs to
build, like bison, flex etc. Unfortunately, I haven't yet found a way to
restart the build where it left off after a make error, I always restart
from square one by doing the apt-get ... command again. I am sure that
there is a better way of doing this ... I tried to go to
xfree86-4.0.2/build-tree/xc and doing "make" there but that wouldn't cut
it. At least the 500 MHz G4 is fast.

Good question, perhaps. I suppose once I have suffered enough with XF3 or
building XF4 myself I'll switch to testing.
Cheers, and thanks for your patience with silly questions! Stefan
