I'm running AccelX 4.1 with debian 1.3.1. After some problems it works
smoothly. 

1. I had to install termcap-compat for the setup program that comes
with the server.

2. I had to purge all of the Xfree stuff. Those libraries have higher
version numbers than the libraries AccelX provides, thus they get
linked automatically at boot to the generic names instead of the
AccelX ones. Make sure there is nothing left on your system Xfree
provides, and then reinstall AccelX.

Example: 

libXext.so --> libXext.so.6.3          wrong!
libXext.so --> libXext.so.6.1         correct!
