X: 3.3.6 and 4.0.2



Hi all,

I just did an apt-get upgrade on my testing box.  It was discussed
before that X may be broken for the time being, but my problem is a
little different.

startx runs the old version, 3.3.6
I have the XF86Config-4 file ready to go.  I've looked over the
tree of X scripts, binaries, and conf files (xinit, startx, X,
XFree86, xserverrc, ...) required to run X, but cannot find anywhere
that specifies whether to run the old 3.3.6 or the new 4.0.2.

/usr/X11R6/bin/X is running server 3.3.6 (despite it's parent package 
	being 4.0.2-1)
/usr/X11R6/bin/XFree86 -version says 4.0.2

$ dpkg -S /usr/X11R6/bin/X /usr/X11R6/bin/XFree86 
xserver-common: /usr/X11R6/bin/X
xserver-xfree86: /usr/X11R6/bin/XFree86

$ dpkg -l xserver-common xserver-xfree86          
ii  xserver-common 4.0.2-1        files and utilities common to all X servers
ii  xserver-xfree8 4.0.2-1        the XFree86 X server

All other X packages are 4.0.2-1 as well (as layed out by
task-x-window-system-core) 

Does anyone know why it's still running 3.3.6?

Please CC me on replies
Many thanks in advance
