XF86 problem on G4 Ti



Dumb question, but what is the elegant way to use apt-get to manage Branden's 4.2 packages
of X86free? As far as I can tell, 4.2 is not available on woody or sid yet and I don't want
to totally screw up my system by failing to install 4.2 right by hand. Moreover, if 4.2 
doesn't fix my problem or it isn't stable, I want an easy way to get back to where I 
started.

>From the APT-GET HOWTO, it seems that I should be able to edit my sources.list file to
include the url for 4.2 packages, but I am not quite sure.

Many thanks,

Bryan
