I'm currently confused about X-4. I've been keeping up to date with
Testing and now I don't know which version of X I'm running. My driver
is xserver-svga 3.3.6X. I tried running xf86config and this generated a
XF86Config-4 file which didn't work. I therefore continued with my
existing XF86Config.

Can anyone explain briefly what the present position is with regard to
X-4?
