Re: Xfree86 4.02?
The debs are in debian/pool: you can get them by adding unstable to your
apt sources list (apt-setup will do it fine for you).
I did it "by hand", because I didn't want to change my apt settings,
the files I got are:
libfreetype6_2.0.1-1.deb xserver-common_4.0.2-1_i386.deb
xbase-clients_4.0.2-1_i386.deb xserver-xfree86_4.0.2-1_i386.deb
xfree86-common_4.0.2-1_all.deb xterm_4.0.2-1_i386.deb
xfs_4.0.2-1_i386.deb xutils_4.0.2-1_i386.deb
xlibs_4.0.2-1_i386.deb xvfb_4.0.2-1_i386.deb
I don't think that _all_ are necessary and I guess that you could add
some more
After you've dpkg-ed everything (or apt-ed),
run xf86cfg or XF86Setup. They will probe and/or ask for your hardware
and write the /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 file.
End of Plug, start of Play:
I had some problems with that but it was because of the bloody nv/nvidia
drivers that were rotten.
I also had a problem that X4 didn't flush X3 correctly, so that startx
was calling X3.3.6. Fixed it by symlinking /usr/X11R6/bin/X to
/usr/X11R6/bin/XFree86.
It feels a bit dirty though.
Anyway in case of problem, take a peek at /var/log/XFree86.?.log
