sid - but just use the 'unstable' symlink, which points to the right
place.

You could also try the unofficial kernel 2.4 and XFree86 4 packages for
potato. In /etc/apt/sources.list:

  deb http://people.debian.org/~bunk/debian potato main
  deb-src http://people.debian.org/~bunk/debian potato main

  deb http://people.debian.org/~cpbotha/ xf403_potato/i386/
  deb http://people.debian.org/~cpbotha/ xf403_potato/all/

See http://www.fs.tum.de/~bunk/kernel-24.html,
http://people.debian.org/~cpbotha/READ.THIS, and
http://people.debian.org/~cpbotha/xf403_potato/READ.THIS for more
information.

Cheers,
