Re: Change XFree from 4.1.0 to 3.3.6 in testing?
Ok, I figured it out. I used the 3.3.6 packages that dselect shows but
had to go and get the xserver-mach64 package from potato. It seems to
be working OK now...except I can't use a framebuffer console with the
mach64 server, but that's a different problem.
