Presumably this means you're running potato (X 4 is already in the
testing/unstable distributions). There are no plans to update potato
itself to XFree86 4, as the stable distribution isn't updated except for
security updates and other major bugs. The most recent unofficial apt
archive of X 4 for potato I know of is:
deb http://people.debian.org/%7Ecpbotha/ xf403_potato/i386/
deb http://people.debian.org/%7Ecpbotha/ xf403_potato/all/
Of course, http://people.debian.org/~cpbotha/xf403_potato/READ.THIS says
not to bug Branden about them. :)
What problems are you encountering when trying to install these packages
on potato? If you give more details to us on debian-user, maybe somebody
can help.
