Hi All,
i am new to debian.

i custom built the kernel version 2.2.19 for a SMP (dual pentium)
machine and installed debian.

i have a matrox g450 video card. as i understand, this card is
supported only by xfree86-4.1.0. But, the potato has only
xfree86-3.3.6.

So, i am wondering whether it is safe to upgrade to xfree86-4.1.0, as
it is in woody and not yet in stable relase. do i have to watch out
for any specific problesm?

also, where do i get the .deb files? (i searched in debian packages
dir, but couldnt find them)

thanks for your help and have wonderful holidays,
deva



Look at Charl P. Botha's XFree86 4.1.0 .debs for Debian 2.2 ("potato")
