Hi,
I have found this wiki page very informative for me.

http://wiki.debian.org/XStrikeForce/ReleaseNotes

I have an iBook G4 and the dual screen was no more working.
And now it is working.
Anyway thanks to the writer of the page.

Hello

The current version of xserver-xorg-core on my iBook is:
Package: xserver-xorg-core
Priority: optional
Section: x11
Installed-Size: 11416
Maintainer: Debian X Strike Force <debian-x@lists.debian.org>
Architecture: powerpc
Source: xorg-server
Version: 2:1.1.1-21

The page you pointed me to says I should install version 2:1.1.1

Sorry but I am not very familiar with Xorg development I am a bit lost there:
The page says 2:1.1.1 but
- which 2:1.1.1 ? On http://snapshot.debian.net/ I can see 2:1.1.1-7, 2:1.1.1-8, 2:1.1.1-9 and so on...
- are the packages on http://snapshot.debian.net/ for etch, lenny, sid ?
- are the packages on http://snapshot.debian.net/ for x86 or powerpc or other ?

Thank you,
